Cape Argus
|September 22, 2025
ALLEGED underworld gang boss Nafiz Modack has been sentenced to seven years imprisonment, following his conviction for bribing a police brigadier.
The 44-year-old was found guilty of paying R146 000 to Brigadier Kolindren Govender in exchange for special treatment.
Modack was sentenced in the Cape Town regional court on Friday, but still faces a R46 million tax evasion case and is on trial for the murder of Anti-Gang Unit detective Lieutenant-Colonel Charl Kinnear.
According to prosecutors, the investigation led by the Hawks' Serious Corruption Investigation Unit unveiled a scheme in which Modack colluded with former senior police officer Brigadier Kolindren Govender.
