The National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega held a press briefing this afternoon in Pretoria regarding the whereabouts of Radovan Krejcir.

Phiyega addressed members of the media on that following an intensive investigation by a multi-disciplinary team, warrants of arrest were obtained during the course of the week. The police acted on these immediately, which resulted in the arrest of Mr Radovan Krejcir and one of his associates last night. The suspects are currently in police custody.

Police Spokesperson Lieutenant General Solomon Makgale said the police have noted the high court order brought by Krejcir's  legal representatives and have communicated his whereabouts to them.

Makgale said the investigations are continuing, which may lead to more arrests being effected.

He added that the arrests are as a result of an investigation into an incident which occurred in June 2013. A case of kidnapping and assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm was reported in the East Rand.

Meanwhile the Police Ministry has commended the team that investigated the allegations against the accused.

Ministry Spokesperson Zweli Mnisi said the team which has been working on this matter consists of members from the Tactical Response Team, Hawks, Crime Intelligence and the Detectives to attempted murder.
