“I got a huge amount of money from Saad Hariri” .. new details in the case of the famous “fashion model” Candice

Al-Marsad newspaper: “Business Insider” revealed that “the South African Revenue Service (Sars) will not have to repay the 44 million rand taxes of model, Candice van der Merwe.

The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) upheld an appeal by the Tax Department against the October 2020 Supreme Court decision, which overturned a previous ruling by the Tax Court against Van der Merwe, which received tens of millions of dollars from former Lebanese Prime Minister, Saad Hariri.

In the 2014 tax year, Van der Merwe told Sars that she earned R36,919, an average of just over R30,000 per month, as her tax bill came to R13,807, but her tax return contained a somewhat unusual disclosure “a gift from her companion.” Abroad” worth 142.9 million rand.

The model explained that the money came from former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, noting that they met at the “The Plantation” club and resort in the Seychelles in 2012, when she was 20 years old while Hariri was 43 years old.

She added, “The trip was sponsored by the resort, and Hariri was at that time one of the resort’s guests to enjoy.”
