The VAT fraud leg of Cape Town businessman Nafiz Modack's myriad cases has been delayed because he is struggling to find a new lawyer. | itchybyte

His last lawyer could no longer do the four-hour trip to Helderstroom Prison for consultations with Modack in preparation for the case.

This emerged in the Western Cape High Court on Friday, but the prosecutor quickly nipped the complaint in the bud and said Modack had had since September 2022 to sort out the issue. At this stage, we can no longer be held hostage by the accused. Eleven lawyers have come and gone since the arrest. He told the court he would risk his safety and move back to Cape Town so that he would be able to consult his lawyer. Modack's movement is guarded by heavily armed specialist officers, and he travels in an armoured police vehicle.

itchybyte Its funny how fraudsters consider themselves 'businessmen'... they know their business model is a con from the outset... but they will be spending on exotic cars and accommodation on other people's money calling themselves entrepreneurs until finally they get caught

itchybyte Give him a State lawyer.

itchybyte we know what that means in code!! that they are giving him time to collect funds that will 'help' with his case, and if he cannot then will face consequences,corruption from the grass roots to the trees,or maybe i should say vice versa since leaders are supposed to set examples!
