Gauteng centre of the scheme: Probe into McLaren crash reveals luxury car fraud scandal

[Grant]

A Home Affairs investigation sparked by a dramatic R3 million McLaren crash in Cape Town has uncovered what officials describe as widespread abuse of South Africa's vehicle registration system, with hundreds of luxury cars allegedly purchased by foreign nationals using fraudulent documents.

Home Affairs Deputy Director-General for Counter Corruption Constance Moitse told Parliament that officials specifically examined luxury vehicle purchases linked to Nigerian nationals and individuals whose legal status in the country could not be verified.

The investigation identified at least 40 ultra-luxury vehicles, including Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and McLarens. However, Porsches emerged as the most frequently registered luxury vehicle linked to the scheme.

Officials told Parliament that at least 327 Porsche vehicles were registered to Nigerian nationals through allegedly fraudulent processes.
