Police say the 33-year-old man was arrested today next to a Pretoria courthouse after receiving an initial payment of USD 2,600 in a police sting operation. They say the man faces corruption charges.
A police statement says the man accused of masquerading as a National Prosecuting Authority official promised "to have Oscar Pistorius' murder case destroyed."
In a statement, Pistorius' family commends police for their "swift and efficient" handling of the case.
