The Hawks in KwaZulu-Natal are trying to track down Brendan Mark Pillay, who they say masqueraded as a tax consultant.


They say a businessman hired him in April 2015 and put him in charge of the tax affairs of his business.


The businessman then received a letter from SARS saying he owed R70 million.


Police say Pillay disappeared instead of resolving the issue.


The businessman opened a case of fraud against him in 2017.


Police are asking anyone who knows Pillay's whereabouts to help with the investigation.


They have released a photo of the suspect.
