- Story Text: Czech businessman Radovan Krejcir, who is wanted by police in the Czech Republic has had his extradition trial postponed until Friday. Krejcir is wanted on charges of fraud, and conspiracy to commit murder.
The extradition case against Radovan Krejcir, an international fugitive wanted for fraud and conspiracy to commit murder, was postponed in Johannesburg's Kempton Park Magistrate's Court on Wednesday (May 2).
Czech police have brought the charges against 38-year old Krejcir, who has been on the run for two years. He was arrested on the 21st of April, soon after he flew into South Africa.
The case was postponed until Friday (May 4).
Krejcir remained in custody, and will be kept at the Kempton Park police station cells.
At the time of his arrest, Krejcir was allegedly travelling on a fraudulent passport under the name Egbert Jules Savy. He had arrived in Johannesburg on a flight from Madagascar.
It is believed Krejcir, who also spent some time in the Seychelles, intended to settle in South Africa. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
