Modack claims he bribed Vearey and Kinnear to return six firearms confiscated from his home during a raid in 2017.

Vearey denied receiving any payments from Modack, and police evidence showed the guns were never returned to Modack.

Modack’s lawyer, Advocate Bashier Sibda, presented the court with video footage of various raids at Modack's home between 2017 and 2020.

Modack claimed that during one of the raids, his wife was wrongfully arrested, and one of his dogs was shot dead.

However, Vearey denied being involved in the raids, stating they were not conducted under his command.

The trial continues.
