The conviction comes in the wake of a sentence that was handed down to former top cop Brigadier Kolindren Govender after he entered into a plea agreement with the State after he admitted that he had a corrupt relationship with Modack.

Hawks spokesperson Warrant Officer Zinzi Hani said: “It was reported that during November 2011, Modack acted with a common purpose by paying gratification in a total amount of R146 000 to Govender in return for special treatment.

“He was also convicted of defeating the ends of justice by preventing his colleagues from performing their duties.”
