South African police start fresh investigation into Krejčíř over 20 murders

Police in South Africa have launched a fresh investigation into the Czech fugitive Radovan Krejčíř in connection with 20 cases of murders as well as drug dealing, burglary and money laundering. Officers plan to interview Miloslav Potiška, a former close associate of Mr. Krejčíř’s who is now back in the Czech Republic. A lawyer for Mr. Krejčíř said his client was not afraid of Mr. Potiška turning crown witness against him as he was “a liar” who had fled to evade justice for his own crimes in South Africa. Mr. Krejčíř was sentenced in absentia to 10 and a half years in jail in the Czech Republic for massive tax fraud and is now in custody in Johannesburg ahead of a trial for torturing the brother of a drug dealer.
