Cross-examination of Hawks officer set to get underway in Nafiz Modack trial

The trial of alleged underworld crime boss, Nafiz Modack, is set to continue on Monday, with his defence attorney ready to cross-examine the State’s main witness, Hawks’ officer, Edward du Plessis.

Modack and his co-accused face 122 charges related to various crimes, including murder, extortion, money laundering, racketeering, and fraud.

Evidence presented in court by Du Plessis shows Modack allegedly used millions in extorted money, which he laundered through a front company, to pay some of the accused to commit crime.

The State alleges that Modack used the front 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 tow-truck driver, Richard Joseph, as well as the attempted murder of prominent Cape Town attorney, William Booth.

A self-confessed gunman and two co-accused told the court they acted on Modack’s instruction to commit crime.
