Neville Mutsvangwa and his alleged accomplices, Ellas Majachani (45) and Simbarashe Tichingana (38) have been denied bail, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has said.
The three are facing one count of contravening section 5(I)(a)(ii) of the Exchange Control Act [Chapter 22:05] as read with section 4(1)(a)(1) of the Exchange Control Regulations SI 109 of 1996 “Dealing in foreign currency”, one count of contravening the Bank Use Promotion and Suppression of Money Laundering Act and another count of contravening the Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime Act.
Mutsvangwa is also facing another charge of contravening the Postal and Telecommunications Act in that he was allegedly found unlawfully using Starlink equipment.
The trio were remanded in custody to the 30th of May 2024.
Neville is the son of Zanu-PF power couple Christopher and Monica Mutsvangwa.
The pair claim the 44-year-old’s arrest is politically-motivated.
