North West businessperson and police informant Brown Mogotsi allegedly attempted to bribe the investigating officer in his staged assassination case, the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court heard on Monday.
Mogotsi was remanded in custody for a further three days pending verification of his address. State prosecutor Thami Mpekana said the address was submitted late and had initially sent police officers to the wrong residence.
Mogotsi’s attorney, William Sekgatja, said his client lived in a rural area in Mmabatho in North West and a pin location would assist police in verifying the address by Thursday.
Investigating officer Alfred Ondendaal submitted an affidavit, which was read out by Mpekana, detailing how Mogotsi allegedly attempted to influence him in order to get bail.
