A Hawks cybercrimes officer accused of involvement in high-profile kidnappings and extortion across Nelson Mandela Bay has been denied bail by the Gqeberha regional court due to public safety concerns.
Evidence in the Gqeberha regional court has linked a Hawks cybercrime investigator to a violent kidnapping syndicate that demanded millions in ransom from Nelson Mandela Bay families.
A Hawks cybercrime investigator, alleged to have been linked to a web of kidnappings, extortion and organised crime alongside the men accused of assassinating Gqeberha prosecutor Tracy Brown, is now fighting for bail.
