CAPE TOWN - Retired top cop Major-General Jeremy Vearey will continue his testimony on Monday related to bribery and corruption charges in the trial of alleged underworld gang boss Nafiz Modack.
Modack and 14 co-accused face 122 charges for various crimes, including the murder of Vearey’s colleague, Lieutenant Charl Kinnear.
Vearey’s testimony centres around 25 counts of corruption against Modack.
The State alleges that Modack tried to bribe Vearey and Kinnear to return six firearms confiscated from his home in 2017.
Modack claims he paid more than R3 million to Vearey and Kinnear through a middleman to prove their corruption.
Financial records show various payments were made to Mohamed Hanware, but none to Vearey or Kinnear.
Hawks detectives also confirm that the firearms were never returned to Modack.
Vearey’s testimony is set to continue in the Western Cape High Court.
