Glenn Agliotti's lifestyle was reduced somewhat after his association with slain mining magnate Brett Kebble and associate John Stratton came to an end, court heard on Thursday.

State witness and the ex-fiancee of Agliotti, Diane Muller took the stand for the second day, in the corruption trial of former top cop Jackie Selebi.

The High Court in Johannesburg heard that Agliotti, a convicted drug trafficker, undertook to pay the bond of her house after their relationship ended in 2003, but it took him some time.

Lower standard of living

"Mr Agliotti undertook to pay my bond off. It took him, I think, 14 months. Mr Agliotti was not living the same life after we broke up as when he was with Kebble and John Stratton."

Agliotti previously testified he asked Kebble and Stratton for a $1-million "consultancy fee" for access to Selebi.

Kebble was shot dead in his car in Melrose, Johannesburg, on the night of September 27, 2005. Agliotti was arrested for the murder in November 2006 and was set to go on trial next year.

He previously told the court in the Selebi case he would plead not guilty to Kebble's murder.

Defence lawyer Jaap Cilliers questioned Muller on the statement her father Martin Flint made. Flint is the financial director of Muller's events management company. He allegedly also dealt with an account for the company Spring Lights, from which payments from the Kebbles were distributed to Agliotti.

"My father thinks the world is a wonderful place"

Cilliers said in one statement, Flint said he had "no suspicion" of any payments being made to Selebi.

Cilliers read out an extract of one of Flint's statement: "I never thought such a high-ranking person would compromise himself. If Agliotti had said he was paying Selebi I would certainly have remembered."

Muller, dressed in a black suit and white shirt, replied: "My father is in his 70s. His memory is not that great and he does think the world is a wonderful place. He will not see wrong in anybody and he will give anyone the benefit of the doubt."

She said her father was not present in the office the day she prepared a cash payment of R110 000 for Selebi in a bank bag, with which she later saw him walk out of the office.

Muller said she continued to have dealings with Agliotti after their breakup, out of friendship.

However, Cilliers suggested that money was their continued bond.

Muller retorted: "Come and look if I have any Louis Vuitton handbags, outfits. Come and see how I have benefited."

On Wednesday, Muller testified Agliotti began to believe his friendship with Selebi placed him above the law.

"Agliotti started to believe that... he could do anything. That the law could not touch him because he was friends with the accused."

Muller has been warned that, like Agliotti, she would receive Section 204 indemnity from prosecution on various charges if she was found to have testified "frankly and honestly".

According to Section 204 of the Criminal Procedure Act a person may receive indemnity from prosecution in exchange for testifying for the State.

Selebi is facing a charge of corruption and another of defeating the ends of justice in connection with at least R1.2-million he allegedly received from Agliotti and others in return for favours.
