Court grants bail to prominent Cape Town underworld figures
The Hawks have made a major breakthrough in their investigations into extortion, dealing in drugs, fraud, corruption and money laundering in the Cape Town underworld.
This comes after the arrest of three prominent underground figures in Cape Town.
Mark Lifman (53), Jerome Booysen (56) and 66-year-old William Stevens appeared in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday following their arrest earlier in the day.
Hawks spokesperson Katlego Mogale said the arrests are a victory for crime-fighting efforts.
All three men were granted bail of R100 000 each.
The case was postponed to 9 February.
“They were also ordered to hand in their passports, report and sign at their nearest police station once a week and should they need to leave the province duly inform the investigating officer before doing so,” says Mogale.
