Prison head in contempt for not allowing Krejčíř to charge his laptop

CZECH fugitive and jailed organised crime boss Radovan Krejéii 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 are refusing to allow him to charge his laptop via an extension cord to an electrical device outside his cell. The department offered to charge his laptop overnight and give it back to him the next morning, but Krej is refusing this offer.

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

He was earlier given the green light to pursue his studies and have a laptop in his single cell at the Kgosi Mampuru C-Max Correctional Centre. This allowed Krejéit to pursue his computer-related studies at a private education provider, Oxbridge Academy.
