The two yesterday appeared before a Harare magistrate’s court on allegations of stealing $322 million from the bank. Trust Bank central depot manager Arison Mahureva (25) and a director of MADS Enterprises Holdings Tapiwa Madzimure (29) were brought before magistrate Mr Mishrod Guvamombe on five counts of theft.
