NPA's plans to charge Vincent Smith with tax fraud, evasion 'premature, sensationalist' - lawyer

The National Prosecuting Authority's (NPA) Investigating Directorate intends to prosecute former ANC MP Vincent Smith on charges of tax fraud and tax evasion.

But the move has been slammed by his lawyer, Wikus Steyl, who told News24 on Saturday there were no grounds for these charges. "[The matter] is basically premature and sensationalist."
