  • Radovan Krejcir’s Lawyer Reckons He Could Escape From Prison

    The last time we heard from Radovan Krejcir, he was complaining about how terrible his time in prison has been.

    That included wailing about his cell being too small, not being allowed to Skype, the mattress being bad for his back and, my personal favourite, not liking the “African” food being served.

    Basically, Krejcir wants to get extradited back to the Czech Republic, and now his legal team is going to extreme and ridiculous measures to try and make that happen.

    Times LIVE with the details:

    …Krejcir says it’s in SA’s “national interest” that he be extradited back to Czech Republic – and he has threatened to sue Justice Minister Michael Masutha if he doesn’t do so.

    Krejcir’s lawyers have also hinted that, should he remain in custody in SA, the convicted drug smuggler and murder accused would continue trying to escape.

    “Another unfortunate reality is that for as long as Mr Krejcir is incarcerated in a South African prison with no imminent hope of parole, he will remain a high-risk candidate to escape. Should this unfortunate event materialise the South African government will undoubtedly be severely embarrassed,” Krejcir’s lawyer Eric Mabuza wrote to Masutha last week.

    “Will undoubtedly be severely embarrassed”? So, you’re saying he will eventually escape? OK, Michael Scofield.

    “On the contrary, if Mr Krejcir is extradited immediately this threat will be permanently removed and so will the burden of having a ‘crime boss and the most dangerous criminal’ on our shores.”

    Mabuza made the claims in an eight-page letter that he sent to Justice Minister Michael Masutha, adding that keeping Krejcir locked up has already cost the South African taxpayer a cool R200 million.

    Given the kind of numbers we have seen thrown around during the commission of inquiry into state capture, that’s small change.

    Mabuza claims that it is in the “national interest to have Mr Krejcir extradited to his native country without further delay”, which would please authorities in the Czech Republic, who have been trying for 15 years to make the gangster face the music.

    The thing is, we’re not quite done with him:

    Krejcir is serving a 35-year sentence for drug dealing and attempted murder, although he is on trial for a number of other charges. He stands accused of the murder of suspected Bedfordview drug kingpin Sam Issa, and conspiracy to kill forensic consultant Paul O’Sullivan and a high-ranking police officer, Colonel Nkosana Ximba.

    Mabuza added that because Krejcir’s wife and son have been deported, he has no family members to visit him, which amounts to inhumane treatment.

    Masutha’s office said he has noted the letter, and is now waiting for Krejcir’s court application.

    I would guess that the guards at Leeuwkop maximum security prison won’t take kindly to his lawyer’s threats of escape.
