Former Bosasa operations director Angelo Agrizzi has been rushed to a private hospital because his condition has worsened.
Correctional Services spokesman Singabakho Khumalo confirmed the transfer from the public hospital to which he was admitted last week.
“The request was made by the family and the policy allows such a request to be made, but at their own expense. So they will have to pay for that.
“We received the application today and processed it today.”
Agrizzi’s attorney, Daniel Witz, told News24 that they received a call from Correctional Services around noon.

“[They said] that the treating doctor at the public hospital advised them that they needed to be transferred to an ICU / intensive care center as a matter of urgency because their condition was worsening and they did not have the facilities to treat it. ”
Agrizzi was denied bail last Wednesday by the Commercial Crimes Court of the Palm Ridge Magistrates Court, in a case in which he faced corruption charges for allegedly making payments to former ANC MP Vincent Smith. .
After spending a night in prison, he was taken to the hospital.
