Zuma co-accused, Thales, says it’s impossible to trace individuals involved in alleged bribery, by JKwritingz
The company, co-accused along with Zuma, made these submissions before the Pietermaritzburg division of the KwaZulu-Natal High Court where it appeared, facing charges of fraud, money laundering, corruption and racketeering linked to 783 payments that the French company allegedly made to Zuma in connection with the infamous arms deal of 1999.
The crucial issue for the state may well have been whether it can prove that Zuma met with Thétard on the day the alleged bribe was agreed on. Advocate Mushahida Adhikari, also representing Thales, argued that some of the former employees who were accused of paying the bribes have since left the company while one has been diagnosed with alzheimer’s disease
