A policewoman and a man who allegedly pretended to be a police officer were denied bail by the Pretoria North magistrate's court on Wednesday.

W/O Kleinkie Raquel, 42, and Xavier Luchen Bosman, 34, are facing two counts of extortion. It is alleged that on April 11 the accused met the complainant and introduced themselves as police.

On May 3, the complainant reported the matter to the police’s anti-corruption unit after realising that Raquel, who is stationed at crime intelligence, was attempting to blackmail him again. “In court they pleaded not guilty to the charges against them. However, prosecutor Nkhangweleni Phanuel Mudavhi successfully opposed bail,” National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana said.
