The kingpin of a lucrative illegal abalone enterprise, Julian Brown, wept after he was jailed for an effective 18 years in the Port Elizabeth High Court on Friday for racketeering and contravening the Marine Living Resource Act.
Makaula found that Brown ultimately benefited from the enterprise and that he employed Renier Ellerbeck and Edgar Clulow Junior, among others, who had duties within the enterprise. At the time, he also rented out a property for R12,000 per month in South End. He said that he made up to R500,000 per month in turnover from his construction company J&B Construction.
Makaula said that it was deduced abalone was destined for the international market after the court had seen a message on Brown’s phone from a Chinese person who had complained about how the abalone was prepared.
