A former employee of National Fluid Control, Naomi Milissa Isaacks, has been convicted and sentenced in the Swakopmund Regional Court after being found guilty on six charges relating to theft, fraud, and money laundering involving more than N$103 000.
Isaacks appeared in court on Monday last week, where she was found guilty on all six counts.
On charges 1 to 3, the court sentenced Isaacks to four years’ imprisonment. Charges 4, 5 and 6 were taken together for sentencing. The court imposed a fine of N$20 000 or, alternatively, one year imprisonment. The case stemmed from an internal investigation conducted by National Fluid Control after irregularities were discovered while reconciling supplier accounts in March 2023. According to the company, an unrecorded invoice raised suspicion after the listed goods did not match the company’s normal scope of supply. Further investigations allegedly uncovered falsified annotations, fabricated supporting documents and incorrect customer reference numbers.
Three purchase orders were linked to the offences, involving pumps, cabling, HDPE pipes and accessories allegedly diverted from the company. The total loss suffered by the company amounted to N$103 960.52. Isaacks was arrested in November 2025 and initially appeared in the Swakopmund Magistrate’s Court before the matter was transferred to the regional court.
