Kurotwi’s defence contests audited financial statement

statement brought to court by the State to prove the cash-flow in the now-defunct Canadile Miners.
The defence argued that the documents were not enough for the trial.
The required financial documents should serve to show how much money was injected into the joint venture project by Core Mining and the actual sources of such funds.
Chief law officer Chris Mutangadura had brought an audited statement, which the defence criticised before the parties went into the judge’s chambers for the postponement of the case. The defence team requires the entire source documents for the financial records. 
This prompted Justice Chinembiri Bhunu to further defer the case to tomorrow (Wednesday) to allow the State to furnish the court with the correct documents that the defence requires for the trial.
Last week the court adjourned to allow the prosecution, through its witnesses, to bring the entire financial statements for Canadile Miners (the joint venture between Government and Core Mining).
Yesterday the State only brought an audited statement for the company, which the defence lawyers argued, was not all they required.
The issue of financial records arose when a State witness started testifying on the finances received by Canadile during the subsistence of the project and defence lawyers had to quickly object.
They requested for financial records first before the witness gave evidence.
The two are being accused of fraudulently misrepresenting to the Government that they had the capacity to raise the required funds for the joint venture mining project.
