CAPE TOWN - The high-profile trial of alleged gang boss, Nafiz Modack, is set to continue on Monday, with the spotlight on money laundering and fraud charges.
Modack and his 14 co-accused face 122 charges related to various crimes, including murder, extortion, money laundering, racketeering and fraud.
Evidence by the Hawks shows that one of the accused, Ricardo Morgan, made payments to co-accused, Zane Kilian, on behalf of Modack.
Kilian is accused of tracking slain top cop, Carl Kinnear, and attorney, William Booth, numerous times before their respective murder and attempted murder in 2020.
Evidence presented in court showed payments from Morgan's account to Kilian amounting to more than R100,000 during the same year.
Morgan's attorney has told the court the payments were for COVID-19 masks, however, Hawks officer, Edward du Plessis, said that Kilian admitted the payments were for the tracking services he provided Modack.
This week, Morgan is set to provide the court with financial records of his dealings with Modack.
