National police spokesperson Brig Athlenda Mathe confirmed that investigators met with Mogotsi’s legal team to collect his formal statement and seize the electronic devices for forensic analysis.
“The team investigating the fraud, corruption and defeating the ends of justice case has also seized certain devices from him,” Mathe said.
“The team is also investigating the attempted murder case, having taken Mogotsi’s statement.”
This is with regard to Mogotsi’s allegations that he came under attack on Monday and his car was shot at.
The police have not disclosed the type of devices seized from Mogotsi.
Last month, Mogotsi’s business premises in Mahikeng, North West, were raided as part of a broader probe into fraud, corruption and defeating the ends of justice.
