Johannesburg - Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir was found guilty of kidnapping and attempted murder in the High Court in Johannesburg, sitting in Palm Ridge, on Monday.
Krejcir, Sandton businessman Desai Luphondo, and East Rand Organised Crime Unit police officers Samuel “Saddam” Maropeng, George Nthoroane, Jan Lefu Mofokeng and Jeff Nthoroane were charged following allegations that they recruited a man known as Doctor Nkosi to help smuggle 25kg of tik (methamphetamine) to Australia, allegedly for Krejcir.
Nkosi worked for a cargo company at OR Tambo International Airport, when he disappeared with the shipment.
Krejcir and his co-accused allegedly then kidnapped and tortured his brother, Bheki Lukhele, in a bid to have him reveal his sibling's whereabouts.
