EWN’s Mandy Wiener has reported that shady Czech businessman, Radovan Krejcir has survived an attempt on his life outside his offices in Bedfordview, Johannesburg.

Krejcir, who is currently fighting extradition to the Czech Republic to serve 11 years in prison after being convicted of money laundering to the tune of R227 million was a close associated of recently-assassinated underworld boss, Cyril Beeka.

#Krejcir just told EWN – he parked his car outside his office near Eastgate when several shots were fired at him from a red Polo.
