THE man accused of trying to bribe a City of Cape Town official with R4 million to reinstate lucrative municipal tenders has appeared in court following an undercover police operation that uncovered the bribery scheme.
The suspect, Shaun Roos, 56, allegedly attempted to influence the outcome of an investigation linked to municipal contracts worth about R1.6 billion that had been awarded to his company, Triple C Maintenance and Services.
Court documents state that the accused allegedly arranged a meeting with City manager, Lungelo Mbandazayo, in February at Table View Mall.
It is alleged that during the meeting, the accused offered the official a bribe of R4m to assist in reinstating and approving tenders previously allocated to Triple C, a Blackheath company where he is allegedly the operations manager.
