## Resource

The SIU has frozen two luxury homes owned by former PRASA CEO Lucky Montana, tracing a direct money trail from a R5.6 billion security contract to the properties — a R13.5 million Hurlingham mansion and a R2.25 million Waterkloof estate. With Montana’s official income falling far short of covering these purchases, investigators say funds flowed through contractors and multiple channels. A special tribunal has halted any transactions, and Montana faces court on August 11 as the SIU races to file charges within 30 days — all part of a determined push to recover stolen public money and hold corrupt officials accountable.
