JOHANNESBURG – While Angelo Agrizzi’s lawyers admit that he has more assets outside the country than in South Africa, they argue that this does not mean he is trying to evade justice.
They insist that the fraud and corruption charged to the former Bosasa chief operating officer should be released on bail after the Palm Ridge Commercial Crimes Court denied it.
Agrizzi’s lawyers have argued in Johannesburg High Court that Agrizzi was being treated harshly by the prosecution despite the fact that the money paid to Vincent Smith, who was released on bail, belonged to Bosasa and not his.
Agrizzi was denied bail two weeks ago and is appealing that decision.
His lawyers have told the court that he was in ICU on a ventilator and on dialysis.
But doctors find it difficult to treat him because he is chained to a bed even though he is unconscious and there are too many armed guards in his ward.
A ruling on the bail request is expected on Friday.
