Angelo Agrizzi is still in intensive care, but he is awake and responsive, and the multiple warrants for his arrest have once again been stayed.

The fraud and corruption accused former Bosasa chief operations officer has been in hospital for seven weeks now but his lawyer, advocate Mannie Witz, said on Thursday he was on the road to recovery.

“At the moment, he’s still reliant on medical care.

Witz was speaking on the sidelines of the Palm Ridge Specialised Commercial Crime Court, where Agrizzi had been due in the dock on Thursday morning, alongside former ANC MP Vincent Smith, to answer to the fraud and corruption charges levelled against the two over allegations that Smith received massive kickbacks from Bosasa in exchange for his political influence and protection.

In the matter in Palm Ridge, Agrizzi was initially denied bail – with magistrate Philip Venter finding he was a flight risk and highlighting the “headache” trying to extradite the Gupta brothers had given the National Prosecuting Authority .
