Probe into Krejcir's alleged planned escape
Updated | By Khatija Nxedlana
Correctional Services has launched an investigation into an apparent attempted escape by prisoners at the Zonderwater Correctional Centre, including Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir.
The plot was unearthed when officials raided cells at the Pretoria facility on Saturday.
They found illegal items ranging from cellphones to a correctional official's uniform, as well as a firearm.
The department's Manelisi Wolela says they have since implemented stricter measures at the prison.
"Internal and external investigations have been launched by both Correctional Services as well as the South African Police Services.
"Correctional Services continues to assess and strengthen its security strategies and operations in all its 240 correctional facilities across the country to ensure the reduction of escapes from correctional centres," he said.
