Former Eskom contractor to appear in London court for extradition hearing
Former Eskom contractor Michael Lomas is expected to appear at the Westminster Magistrate’s Court in London for an extradition hearing.
Lomas will appear in court on Thursday on charges of fraud and corruption.
He is implicated in a R745 million tender between Tubular Construction Projects and Eskom.
Investigative Directorate spokesperson Sindisiwe Seboka says the London court is expected to make a ruling on Lomas’ extradition to South Africa.
"The ID brought an extradition application through the UK central authorities to invoke the European Convention on Extradition 1957, the UN Convention against Corruption 2003 to assist in bringing Lomas back to South Africa to account and join the South African accused.
"The London-based court is expected to deal with the case management of the matter and decide on the appropriate manner on how the trial should proceed."
His other co-accused in South Africa are expected to appear in court on 1 June.
