AngeloAgrizzi threatened Bosasa’s former auditor to sign statement exposing GavinWatson StateCaptureInquiry
The former auditor of Bosasa, Peet Venter, told the commission of inquiry into state capture on Tuesday that the former COO of the controversial company, Angelo Agrizzi, and its former CFO, Andries Van Tonder, threatened him to draft a statement that would expose the illegal activities of the company’s CEO, Gavin Watson.
At the time, Venter was still at the employ of an auditing firm that provided its services to Bosasa. “So he really scared me with what he had accumulated,” Venter told the commission, further explaining that Agrizzi then gave him a choice to either “go down with Watson” or prepare the statement that would expose the company’s CEO.
Venter clarified to the commission some of the inaccurate and incorrect aspects of that statement which he said had been edited by Agrizzi and that he signed on a later day under duress.
