Question posted in the Criminal Law category relating to KwaZulu-Natal
Dear Sir/Madam
My name is "M", I'm involved in a bank fraud of R5000 which I did online by using my grandfather's bank account details to transfer the money to my bank account.
Now the bank is investigating the transaction and they found out that I was the one who did the transaction without my grandfather's permission. Now they block my account and they said I shouldn't have done that because it illegal and it up to my grandfather to open the case with the police.
This is my first time offense so I want to know what must I do now, because I don't want this to ruin my life and my future.
Regards
