A 39-year-old Durban woman has alleged that a Momentum claims investigator colluded with a prosecutor to deprive her of her share of a R30-million life insurance payout following the death of her boyfriend. 

This is part of an ongoing legal battle that involves accusations of fraud and a doctor signing off on the boyfriend's death certificate without seeing his body.
