Johannesburg – A Durban Magistrate’s Court prosecutor was arrested on Tuesday on charges of corruption, KwaZulu-Natal police said.

She allegedly demanded R1 000 from an advocate to make a case of fraud and assault against his client disappear, police spokesperson Vincent Mdunge said.

A trap was set and a sworn statement was obtained from the advocate.

The money was handed over.

Police officers then entered the court while it was in session and conducted a search.

The marked notes were found in the prosecutor’s possession.

She would appear in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
