Cape Town - Alleged underworld crime boss Nafiz Modack and an Anti-Gang Unit (AGU) member were in the dock on Tuesday on charges relating to a failed hand grenade attack at AGU Commander Lieutenant Charl Kinnear’s home.
They also face corruption charges, while Modack is facing attempted murder charges for Kinnear’s wife, Nicolette, and her two sons.
The duo appeared at the Bishop Lavis Magistrate’s Court.
The appearance was met with high police and media presence following a whirlwind and mammoth investigation by crime intelligence teams led by the Hawks.
Alleged underworld figure Nafiz Modack appeared in court for a second successive day on Tuesday, alongside an Anti-Gang Unit (AGU) officer, to face charges of corruption.
The State alleges that Modack paid his co-accused, Sergeant Ashley Tabisher, R10,000 for information about AGU investigations against him.
The case, held in the Bishop Lavis Magistrates’ Court, was postponed until Monday to set a date for a bail application. Western Cape National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila indicated that the State would oppose bail.
Modack also faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, being part of a criminal gang, and conspiring to acquire and possessing an explosive device, related to five murder attempts on AGU regional commander Lieutenant-Colonel Charl Kinnear, who was shot dead outside his Bishop Lavis home on 18 September 2020.

The promise of R10 000 and a cellphone was allegedly offered to an Anti-Gang Unit member to tell attempted murder accused Nafiz Modack about any planned raids on his house.
AGU policeman Ashley Tabisher is the latest to appear in court with Modack who was arrested on attempted murder, kidnapping and intimidation charges after a police chase last week.
The draft indictment against the two also covered the complicated bonds between informants and the AGU which is still reeling after the murder of colleague Lieutenant-Colonel Charl Kinnear.
