He is facing charges of tax fraud, money laundering, corruption, and breach of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act for gratifications he allegedly received from Bosasa in the form of security upgrades to his home in Gauteng. “Smith also faces corruption charges for allegedly accepting further gratifications from Waterfall Golf Estate and CLIDET 69, including accepting cash transferred into his bank account and his company from Bosasa and other people unknown to the state,” Seboka said.He was originally charged with Agrizzi but their cases were separated due to the CEO’s ill health.
Smith, the former chairperson of the National Assembly’s Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services, and Agrizzi were arrested and charged with corruption. Smith is expected to return to the Johannesburg High Court for his case in August for pretrial proceedings.
