Extradition hearing of former Eskom contractor set for December
Former Eskom contractor Michael Lomas will know his fate in December.
Lomas appeared at the Westminster Magistrate’s Court in London on Thursday.
He is implicated in a R745 million tender between Tubular Construction Projects and the power utility.
“He is expected back in the same court on the 20th until 21st of December where his extradition trial will begin in earnest,” says Independent Directorate (ID) spokesperson Sindisiwe Seboka.
“The appearance stems from talks with the UK law enforcement authorities by the ID in connection with the fraud and corruption case where Eskom paid R745 million to Tubular constructions where Lomas is implicated.”
The SA’s law enforcement agency brought an extradition application through the UK authorities a bid to bring Lomas back to South Africa.
