Alleged Cape Town underworld boss Nafiz Modack appeared in court on Wednesday on charges of racketeering, fraud, money laundering, uttering and contravention of the VAT Act.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said Modack, his mother Ruwaida, younger brother Yaseen, and SA Revenue Service employee Faried van der Schyff appeared in court on Wednesday on charges of racketeering, fraud, money laundering, uttering and contravention of the VAT Act. They were joined by Bashier Syce, Nadia Said, Dominique McLachlan and Kulsum van der Schyff.

“The scheme entailed the submission of false information via the e-filing system, initially on VAT returns and subsequently on documents which purported to substantiate the claims. The bimonthly VAT201 returns of the entities were filed via e-filing,” he said. “Where VAT refunds were paid into the bank account of a particular VAT vendor, the monies were quickly transferred to various other bank accounts effectively concealing the source thereof,” said Ntabazalila.

Ntabazalila said the case was postponed to November 22 for the accused to sort out legal representation and to request further particulars.Van der Schyff and Nafiz Modack were remanded in custody. Van der Schyff will apply for bail on November 3 2021.
