Pretoria - A Cape Town businessman and owner of the Grande Kloof Boutique Hotel is due to receive damages from the police. He had been whisked away by police from his hotel following false allegations that he was involved in fraud and theft.
Allen Tavakoli, an American citizen living in South Africa, said in papers before the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, that the following three days were an absolute nightmare. He was cuffed, humiliated and subjected to such ill-treatment at the hands of the police that his health has deteriorated as a result.
Tavakoli was taken by the police from Cape Town to Durban, where he had to spend some time in a jail cell. He was then taken to the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Durban.
