JOHANNESBURG - A convicted Czech mafia boss says the Kgosi Mampuru C-Max Prison conditions have affected his mental health.

Radovan Krejcir was testifying at the Kempton Park Magistrates Court on Friday, 25 November. He was applying to have his charges for a 2016 prison escape struck off the roll.

The matter has not yet gone to trial. However, the Czech national does not believe he will receive a fair trial while being held at the Pretoria prison, according to EWN.

Krejcir told the court that he does not have the privileged of consulting with his legal advisers. He also claimed that phones used to communicate with his legal team were bugged.

He was convicted of attempted murder, kidnapping and dealing drugs in 2015 and is serving a 35-year-long prison sentence.

Last year during court proceedings, Krejcir feared that he would die behind bars. IOL reported that his lawyer, Nastasja Otrebski said his medical treatments are denied or ignored.
