Cape Town – The corruption case involving former Bosasa Chief Operations Officer (COO) Angelo Agrizzi has been transferred to the Pretoria High Court.
He is scheduled to make a court appearance on February 29, 2024.
Agrizzi is accused of providing gratifications to former Member of Parliament Vincent Smith in exchange for using his influence to protect Bosasa from accountability.
The alleged gratifications include security upgrades to Smith’s home and cash payments through his business.
“Agrizzi was initially arrested in October 2020 for having allegedly offered former Parliamentarian Vincent Smith gratification to the value of over R800 000. He is the only accused in the matter as the case was separated from his co-accused Vincent smith in July 2021.
“Agrizzi currently faces two cases brought against him by the Investigating Directorate. His mental assessment report from Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital is also expected to be submitted to the court on 29 February 2024, in his separate R1.8 billion Bosasa and Department of Correctional Services matter,” the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said.
