Alleged underworld kingpin Modack denies 'pinging' payments

FROM August to September 2020, alleged underworld kingpin Nafiz Modack had paid co-accused Zane Kilian R47 500 from his Empire account, coinciding with the tracking and assassination of Anti-Gang Unit detective Lieutenant-Colonel Charl Kinnear, the Western Cape High Court heard.

ALLEGED kingpin Nafiz Modack.

The State alleges that these payments were for pinging services allegedly linked to pinging operations used to track targets.

Modack, however, insisted the transfers were for debt collection, towing a vehicle and for masks.

Judge Robert Henney pointed out that Kilian himself noted in his 220 admissions that payments with references such as “masks” were actually for pinging.

Modack still insists that payments were not for pinging and that Kilian was lying.
