The prospects that businessman Adam Catzavelos can be prosecuted for a racial slur, which he made in a viral video taken in Greece, are slim, a legal expert has told News24.
Tarin Page an associate at HJW Attorneys says essentially, in law, the rule is that the country where the offence is committed has the jurisdiction to prosecute. Catzavelos is expected to appear in the Randburg Magistrate's Court on May 28 where it is believed that he will face a crimen injuria charge.However, Page says if such a racial slur was a crime in Greece, he could have been extradited to South Africa to be prosecuted here.
Page said if Catzavelos had recorded the video, which went viral while he was in South Africa, then there would be a possibility that he could be charged in terms of the Electronic Communications Act.
