Crime boss wins battle over charging rights in C-Max

CZECH fugitive and jailed organised crime boss Radovan Krejéit faced a dilemma as the court earlier granted him permission to use his laptop in his cell for study purposes, but he cannot charge the device overnight, as he has no plug point in his cell.

Krejcit told the Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg, that correctional services were refusing to allow him to charge his laptop via an extension cord to an electrical device outside his cell. The department offered to charge it overnight and give it back to him the next morning, but Krejéii is refusing this offer.

He said he had signed an indemnity agreement with the department that he will not hold it responsible if anything happened to his laptop

He was earlier given the green light to pursue his computer-related studies and have a laptop in his single cell at the Kgosi Mampuru C-Max Correctional Centre, in Pretoria.
