At the same time, other key business units were fragmented, especially the Large Business Centre – which had been responsible for 35% of SARS's revenue and which the Nugent Commission said was "eviscerated" – and also the Litigation Unit and Compliance Unit. The Anti-Corruption and Security Unit, which investigated internal corruption at SARS and which had consistently been rated as among the best such units in the South African government, was also restructured such that its independence was undermined. The Executive Committee of SARS had by the end of 2015 "been denuded of virtually all the management and skills that had existed when Mr Moyane arrived." An existing modernisation strategy was also suspended, pending a review which the commission found to have been valueless.

The charges were withdrawn shortly afterwards. The 559:

Other senior managers and investigators also departed, under similar circumstances and amid public perception that they had been "driven out" of or "purged" from SARS. The Nugent Commission later said it was highly plausible that Moyane's response to the rogue unit allegations had been "the first step in ‘neutralising’ possible detractors" within SARS, and Nugent said that, regardless of the source of the original allegations, SARS had used them "opportunistically."
