Georgios Katsimberis, a real estate tycoon, approaches the acting deputy prosecutor general because the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) refused to issue him a private prosecution license against the wanted land mogul Kenneth Raydon Sharpe.
In response to Justin Uladi, the interim deputy prosecutor general in command of operations’ response to Katsimberis’ request for a private prosecution certificate against contentious fugitive Land Sharpe, the prosecutor general said this.
He requests that the High Court give him a private prosecution license so that he can bring charges against Sharpe related to the deal’s failure, which he claims caused him to be wronged by US$1 million.
Uladi, in his response, said it was premature to grant a private prosecution certificate against Sharpe because there is no outcome on cases Katsimberis was being prosecuted on. He also said Sharpe was not an accused person. Uladi said the docket did not have a charge against Sharpe and his company, Pokugara Properties, but only Michael Van Blerk, his associate.
In his response, Katsimberis said he was not convinced.
“It seems to me, as a layperson, that the position taken by the State in this matter is impossible to explain outside of some nefarious influence,” Katsimberis said.
“What is apparent from the opposing affidavit is that the state is clutching at straws. It claims in one sentence that there is no docket. Then it claims that Kenneth Raydon Sharpe was never charged.
“Is the Prosecutor General in the business of prosecuting people who have not been charged?”
He added: “What is the basis for withholding prosecution against Sharpe on facts unrelated to my complaint, when the same state is prosecuting me and simultaneously using me as a witness in three other cases from the same facts?
“Because that is what is happening, as clearly appears from the proceedings in HC 6820/21, which proceedings I beg the leave of the court to incorporate herein by reference as if specifically traversed.”
Whatever information the government purports to have about his disagreement with Sharpe, according to him, is irrelevant.
“If this issue was brought up too soon, what precisely is too soon? Is it my accusation of Kenneth Raydon Sharpe, or is it an inquiry into the accusation or a case based on it?
In any case, Pokugara Properties (Private) Limited reported the only instance for which I am being held accountable in 2020, nearly two years after I had filed a complaint against Sharpe.
Sharpe is presently in custody and is being prosecuted on a long list of accusations, including money laundering, fraud, and misconduct.
