A 35-YEAR-OLD Chitungwiza woman on Wednesday appeared at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts facing charges of money laundering.
Harare Magistrate Rumbidzai Mugwagwa presided over the case.
Accused is an administrator at VM ICT Solutions, an innovations company that provides communication business solutions.
During the period extending from October 2018 to April 2019, accused allegedly received in excess of ZWL10 000 into her CBZ Limited bank account.
The money was allegedly came from different companies, including Spartan Security, Lesodas Trends, Fredricks International, Solutions Gates, Fungioliv Investments, Sound Blaze Productions, Bokwest Investments and Quantum Chauffeur, including from individuals through Zipit, a payment platform used by banks to administer cash transfers.
Gwekwerere would allegedly quickly transfer the amounts to various individuals and entities in a pattern suspected to be related to money laundering activities involving foreign currency.
Accused is said to have no other declared source of income besides her salary of about US$400 though her CBZ account had a credit turnover of ZWL658 955.65 during the period in question.
The State said her credit turnover was suspicious in view of her salary level.
The State added that the funds do not seem to be co-related, given the different lines of business of the transacting parties.
Mugwagwa allowed Gwekwerere ZWL2 000 bail on strict bail conditions.
Gwekwerere was also ordered to surrender her passport.
