Corruption watchdog, the Investigating Directorate (ID) says it is happy with a high court ruling which grants former Bosasa chief operating officer, Angelo Agrizzi, bail on Friday morning.

Durban - Corruption watchdog the Investigating Directorate says it is happy with a high court ruling which granted former Bosasa chief operating officer Angelo Agrizzi bail on Friday morning.

Agrizzi was granted bail by the high court, overturning the decision of the Palm Ridge Specialised Commercial Crimes Court to deny him bail two weeks ago. Reading his order of stringent bail conditions set for Agrizzi, Judge Mokgoatlheng said the criteria used by Venter was that no amount of bail paid by Agrizzi would make him stand his trial and if he opted to skip the country he would.

“It could be that if there are sufficient guarantees that are made that the appellant should pay them, to provide sureties or indemnities, they may be persuaded not to flee, they may be persuaded to stand trial. Mokgoatlheng said Agrizzi’s bail would be automatically revoked and he would be remanded in custody within 48 hours of the breach of the bail conditions if he did not meet a slew of conditions by 4pm on November 10.

Court to rule on Agrizzi bail appealAngelo Agrizzi is facing fraud and corruption charges. Easy, lied about assets in Italy. Definitely a flight risk, bail denied. Case postponed to April 2021 please. He's in an private hospital ICU anyways apparently, so why does he need bail so urgently? He must go to jail.
