The police have arrested a 44-year-old district public prosecutor from the Family Court in Johannesburg for alleged corruption and extortion on 25.
Gauteng police provincial spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo, “The victim alleged that he received a call from the man who identified himself as the prosecutor who dealt with his case in court and the caller informed him that if he can give him R10 000, he will cancel his case, give him the docket and ensure that no case will be opened against him.”
Masondo added that the case was opened after the matter was reported to the Anti-Corruption Unit. “The police pounced on the district prosecutor at the Johannesburg Family Court after he accepted R5 000 from the complainant. Police arrested the suspect in possession of the money.”
The suspect is expected to appear at the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court soon for alleged corruption and extortion.
