CAPE TOWN - A co-accused, who faces money laundering and fraud charges in the high-profile trial of alleged underworld gang boss Nafiz Modack, said he had no intention to commit crime.

Ricardo Morgan, who faces fraud and money laundering charges related to the murder of Kinnear, on Wednesday admitted he gave Modack access to his bank account.

Morgan is accused of making various payments to co-accused Zane Kilian to track Kinnear on behalf of Modack.

Evidence shows various payments were made from Morgan's account to Kilian amounting to more than R100,000 between April and September 2020.

Hawks officer Edward du Plessis told the court Kilian previously told police the payments were for the tracking services he provided to Modack.

Defence attorney Scanlyn Collins on Wednesday told the court Morgan's dealings with Modack related to the buying and selling of cars.

Judge Robert Henney postponed the matter to Monday for Morgan to provide the court with financial records of the car sales.
