State prosecutor Greg Wolmarans raised suspicions over Empire Investment Cars, a company allegedly used by Modack and his co-accused to launder money.
Wolmarans questioned transferring the company's ownership from Modack’s brother, accused 13, Yaseen Modack, to accused 14, Adiel Mukadam.
“Your brother made over R1.3 million in salary alone?” asked Wolmarans.
“That’s what it shows, my lord,” Modack replied.
“Now that’s impressive. But this court must believe, and it says you were part of this, that in May 2019, Yaseen Modack would sell this goose that lays the golden eggs for R100,000? Good heavens, that’s less than his monthly salary,” said Wolmarans.
“That’s right, my lord,” Modack replied.
The trial is expected to continue Thursday morning.
