What has been described as Radovan Krejcir’s “purely academic” bail application stalled yesterday, leaving his defence team frustrated.
The case was postponed after the State requested more time to compile its arguments.
Krejcir, believed by police to be a top figure in the local underworld, and co-accused, Siboniso Miya, Nkanyiso Mafunda, Simphiwe Memela and Lyubomir Borislav Grigorov, are facing nine counts, including murder, for the killing of alleged drug kingpin Sam Issa. Prosecutor Lawrence Gcaba said even if Krejcir were granted bail, he would still be in custody for the other cases.
The case continues today.
