BASSON BACK IN THE DOCK

A SWISS pharmacologist has told the trial of chemical warfare expert Dr Wouter Basson in the Pretoria High Court that he undertook a feasibility study for Basson aimed at determining the marketability of a SA Defence Force front company, the Roodeplaat Research Laboratories at Irene near Pretoria. Basson has pleaded not guilty to 61 charges ranging from murder to drug dealing.
