H-Metro Reporter

AN employee of GetBucks Microfinance Bank Limited, who was charged with three others for allegedly creating fictitious accounts for clients to defraud the financial institution of nearly US$4 million, was ACQUITTED by the courts.

Gillian Nyengere, who was the regional sales manager, was acquitted of fraud by a Harare regional magistrate after the State failed to prove its case against her.

She was acquitted in November last year after a full trial.

The other three who were charged were Mozisi Machesu (exchange control manager), Tafadzwa Sandi (international banking and exchange control officer) and Kuzivakwashe Mudzingwa (international banking and exchange control officer).

The four were charged because they had the rights to access the bank system called BR.Net.

Nyengere was acuitted at the end of the State’s case.
