According to sabc TV, Mark Thatcher has reached and agreement with the SA government, whereby he will plead guilty to unwittingly bankrolling the failed coup attempt in EG. According to the deal he will be fined
three million rand and handed down a
five year suspended sentence. He will also not be extradited to EG and he will be allowed to leave the country and join his family in the United States.
Nice one. Unfortunately the guys in the foreign jails were never given the chance to negotiate a deal with the SA government.
Enjoy the states SIR MARK.
