The legal case involving Angelo Agrizzi, the former Chief Operations Officer of Bosasa, has taken a significant turn as it has been transferred to the High Court of the Gauteng Division in Pretoria. Agrizzi’s first appearance in this matter is scheduled for 29 February 2024.
Agrizzi was initially arrested in October 2020 on allegations of offering former Parliamentarian Vincent Smith gratification amounting to over R800 000. However, it is important to note that Agrizzi is now the only accused in this particular case, as it was separated from his co-accused Vincent Smith in July 2021.

Notably, this is not the only legal battle Agrizzi currently faces. The Investigating Directorate has brought two cases against him. In addition to the R800 000 matter, Agrizzi is also involved in a separate case concerning Bosasa and the Department of Correctional Services, with an estimated value of R1.8 billion.
Furthermore, as part of the legal proceedings, Agrizzi’s mental assessment report from Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital is expected to be submitted to the court on the same date, 29 February 2024, in relation to the R1.8 billion Bosasa and Department of Correctional Services matter.
These developments mark a significant moment in the ongoing legal proceedings against Angelo Agrizzi, as the case is now set to be heard in the High Court. The outcome of this trial will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for all parties involved and will be closely watched by the public and legal experts alike.
