A PROSECUTOR is in trouble for allegedly soliciting a bribe.
Brian Muchengeti Chitsungo was arrested and has appeared in court.
In a statement, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said Brian solicited US$750 from Eunice Mlambo.
This was an inducement to facilitate the release of her husband, Michael Mlambo .
The police were tipped off which led to his arrest.
“On 17 February, the police received information that the public prosecutor at the Bulawayo Magistrates’ Court had solicited US$750 from Eunice Mlambo.
“When the accused person learnt that he was being investigated he returned part of the money and remained with a balance of US$150.
“Eunice Mlambo then gave the accused person R3 000, 400 pula, and US$550.”
Brian was granted $40 000 bail on Monday.
