The Office of the Prosecutor General wrote to Fishrot accused, Nigel van Wyk's legal representative, confirming that the State will consider favorably an offer he allegedly made to plead guilty to the charge of attempting to obstruct the course of justice.

The Prosecutor General's Office also states in the same letter that it will take into consideration the time Van Wyk has spent in custody and will therefore not counter his legal team's submission that he be slapped with a fine and a suspended sentence.
