Nafiz Modack trial: Empire Investment Cars expected to come under spotlight

CAPE TOWN - Empire Investment Cars, a company allegedly owned by crime boss, Nafiz Modack's co-accused is set to come under the spotlight again in the Western Cape High Court on Tuesday.

The State alleges Modack used the company to launder money for crimes related to the 122 charges he faces, along with 14 other co-accused.

Hawks captain Edward du Plessis previously presented evidence related to Modack, his brother, Yaseen Modack, and another accused, Adiel Mukudam.

Du Plessis' evidence shows Mukudam bought Empire Investment cars from Yaseen in 2019.

Bank statements show monthly salary payments of R100,000 over a five-month period, to a bank account in Mukudam's name.

Du Plessis told the court the bank card linked to Mukadam's account was later found in the driver's seat of the car, where Modack was arrested in April 2021.

Modack's attorney, Bashier Sibda, is set to question du Plessis' evidence on Tuesday.
