HIGH COURT judge Justice Pisirayi Kwenda has found businessmen Mike Chimombe and Moses Mpofu guilty of defrauding the Government US$7,7 million through the Presidential Goat Pass-on Scheme.

In delivering his judgment, Justice Kwenda said there was obvious prejudice when the tender was awarded.

The State has since submitted that the duo should also be charged with money laundering.

Chimombe and Mpofu’s defence counsels are expected to make submissions in mitigation on October 31.
