Court denies Brown Mogotsi bail in alleged staged assassination plot.
The Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court has denied bail to alleged political fixer and North West businessman Brown Mogotsi, finding that he failed to provide accurate residential addresses, and that he could evade trial.
Mogotsi appeared in court on Thursday for the ruling on his bail application, which had been reserved last week.
State prosecutor Advocate Thami Mpekana alleged that witnesses saw Mogotsi exit his vehicle, fire shots at it, and later claim there had been an attempt on his life as reported by IOL.
They further alleged that he attempted to bribe a police officer in connection with his bail application and provided investigators with an incorrect residential address.
