Defence says no way Thales will get fair trial in Zuma corruption case
DURBAN – French arms’ company Thales on Tuesday said it was adamant it would not receive a fair trial in the fraud and corruption case it was facing with former president Jacob Zuma.
One of Thales' submissions had been that an unreasonable amount of time had passed during which the State had the opportunity to reinstate the charges against Thales, but had not. As had Katz earlier, Adhikari argued that former Thales' employees that allegedly paid bribes to Zuma via his former financial advisor, Schabir Shaik were “not available”.The case, which saw Shaik convicted and sentenced in 2005, has been in and out of the courts for 15 years.
