South Africa's biggest healthcare company Netcare has been implicated in an illegal kidney transplant plot.
The biggest health care firm in South Africa has been charged with cooperating with an Israeli-linked organ trafficking syndicate.
The South African government said that the head of the Netcare company and a director of the St. Augustine's Hospital in Durban, Richard Friedland, had been aware of illegal kidney trade at the hospital, but "nevertheless permitted these operations" to take place, South African daily The Times reported on Wednesday.
The police said that wealthy Israelis paid organ dealers between 2001 and 2003, the year when the ring was exposed, the German Press Agency (DPA) reported.
"Israeli citizens in need of kidney transplants would be brought to South Africa for transplants at St. Augustine's Hospital," read the charge sheet.
"They paid kidney suppliers for these operations. [The kidneys] were initially sourced from Israeli citizens, but later Romanian and Brazilian citizens were recruited as their kidneys were obtainable at a much lower cost than those of the Israeli suppliers," it added.
An Israeli middleman, named Ilan Perry, received between USD 97,676 and USD 118,607 to arrange for the operations.
This is while, those who provided the kidneys were paid approximately between USD 6,000 and USD 20,000.
Five notable South African physicians, working in Durban have also been charged in the illegal organ-trafficking case.
The report also said that Netcare is being charged with setting up the syndicate with the assistance of prominent kidney specialist Jeffrey Kallmeyer and Perry.
The report comes as earlier last year, another report surfaced about an Israeli plot to kidnap children and harvest their organs.
According to the report, some 25,000 Ukrainian children had been brought into Israel over the past two years to be used by Israeli medical centers for their "spare parts."
The Israeli military is also accused of stealing the organs of Palestinian prisoners.

AL-QAEDA have vowed to bomb the World Cup - with England players top of their hitlist.
The terror group pledged to target the match between England and the USA in South Africa in June, warning "hundreds" of fans could die.
A branch of al-Qaeda which last year killed British hostage Edwin Dyer, 61, in Mali made the threats.
The threats appear on al-Qaeda-linked websites. A statement said: "How beautiful would the game between England and the USA be when broadcast live from a stadium full of spectators - when the sound of an explosion rumbles through the stands. The resulting death toll is in the dozens and hundreds - Allah willing."Security around England stars such as Frank Lampard is likely to be stepped up as they play in Cape Town and other cities.
The threats from al-Qaeda's North African network were last night being taken seriously by terror experts.
Neil Doyle said: "They have a track record for violence."
