Modack and his co-accused face 122 charges related to various crimes, including murder, extortion, money laundering, racketeering, and fraud.
CAPE TOWN - The trial of alleged underworld crime boss Nafiz Modack was postponed for a week on Monday to give his defence attorney time to prepare for cross-examination of the State's main witness, Hawks officer, Edward du Plessis.
Evidence presented in court by Du Plessis shows Modack allegedly used money extorted from a luxury car dealership, and laundered through a front company, to pay some of the accused to commit crimes. It's the State's case that Modack used the company's bank account to pay co-accused Zane Kilian to track slain top cop, Charl Kinnear, up to a day before his murder in September 2020.
Modack is also accused of plotting other murders, including the father of a Hawks officer, Nicholaas Heerschap, and a tow-truck driver, Richard Joseph, as well as the attempted murder of a prominent Cape Town attorney, William Booth. A self-confessed gunman and two other co-accused have already told the court they acted on Modack's instruction to allegedly commit crimes.
