Businessman and Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir appeared in court alongside Desai Luphondo, and Hawks members, warrant officers Samuel Modise Maropeng and George Jeff Nthoroane. The men appeared at the Palm Ridge Regional Court in Alberton on Monday, December 3.
Krejcir provided a detailed affidavit read by a representative of how Crime Intelligence Colonel, Nkosana Ximba, allegedly tortured him with a tazer and plastic bag following his arrest.
In the affidavit, Krejcir alleges that a plastic bag was placed on his head and after at least 90 minutes of the alleged torture, he was driven around Johannesburg and Sandton.
He claims he was finally detained in a police cell six hours after his arrest.
The Czech has also laid the blame for the case against him with forensic consultant Paul O’Sullivan, calling him an “unstable white knight vigilante”, who has whipped up a media frenzy against him.
Krejcir offered to pay bail and cooperate with the police, insisting he is not a flight risk and that he wants to remain in the country.
Krejcir and his co-accused Desai Luphondo, and warrant officers Maropeng and Nthoroane, were applying for a bail application after being arrested last month.
They are facing charges of assault, kidnapping and attempted murder.
The bail application has been postponed to Wednesday, December 5.
