Krejcir

A powerful Czech multimillionaire, Radovan Krejcir fled his home country shortly after his arrest in 2005 on charges of fraud. He arrived on South Africa's shores in 2007, travelling under a fake name with a false passport, and avoiding extradition through pay offs. Krejcir fast began to make a name for himself within South Africa's underworld, but it was the murder of Teazer's boss Lolly Jackson in 2010 that brought his name to public attention. After three years and ten more deaths, Krejcir was finally arrested on charges of kidnapping and attempted murder. Yet it seems that even a jail cell is not enough to subdue the criminal kingpin: it is just business as usual. In KREJCIR, Angelique Serrao reveals why we have not yet heard the last of the worst crime boss South Africa has ever seen.
