Radovan Krejcír had many people on his payroll, that isn’t much of a secret, although a man who has now turned state witness says that list contains some connections that are truly disturbing.

Police officers, politicians, other criminals, the ANC – an affidavit deposed by Pierre Theron, one of Krejcir’s inside men from 2007 to 2011, alleges that the Czech mob boss had friends in high places. Below from City Press:

In the affidavit, Theron made startling claims, including that payments were allegedly made to the ANC, suspended ANC Western Cape chairperson Marius Fransman and senior police officers. It also lists a payment of R27 million to Mexican druglord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, who last year escaped from prison in Mexico through an underground tunnel and spent more than six months on the run…

Theron said that during one of his driving jobs for Krejcír in February 2013, he was given a white BMW 320d to drive from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth and an attache case containing R700 000 in cash to deliver to the “state team that was to prosecute [alleged Cuban druglord] Nelson Pablo Yester-Garrido for the 166kg of cocaine, which was recovered in 2010”. A day after the delivery, the case against Yester-Garrido was “withdrawn under sinister circumstances”…

Theron claimed that it was during lunch one Tuesday at that same restaurant that Krejcír opened up to him about the murder allegations.

“The c**ts say I murdered [private detective Kevin] Trytsman, Mr Cocaine [Chris Couremetis], [strip club boss] Lolly [Jackson], Beeka, [Jackson’s business associate Mark] Andrews, [attorney Ian] Jordaan, [sports-car conversion specialist Uwe] Gemballa, [Russian gangster] Yuri … but what else can I do? The bastards owed me money!” The affidavit claims these were Krejcír’s words.

Some of those who regularly visited Krejcir’s businesses were Richard Mdluli and Shadrack Sibiya, at the time head of the police’s crime intelligence unit and Gauteng commander of the Hawks respectively.

Theron also alleges that cop cars would pull up outside the business and receive wads of R200 notes before leaving.

It’s news to no one that our police are susceptible to a little cash pay off now and again, but when you see the extent to which one man can pay his way to immunity you do begin to worry.
