Women’s Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Minister Monica Mutsvangwa ‘s son Neville, who is currently in the docks on allegations of dealing in foreign currency and money laundering, will know his fate next Wednesday when the High Court is expected to hand down ruling on his bail appeal.
Early this week, Neville Mutsvangwa was denied bail by the Harare magistrate Dennis Mangosi, which ruled they were a flight risk.
Lawyer Josephine Sande who represent Mutsvangwa told the High court that Harare Magistrate Dennis Mangosi erred in denying her client bail yet there was no evidence to prove commission of an offence placed before him.
“What we believe as lawyers is bail is a constitutional right and everyone is entitled to bail”
“There are no compelling reasons that justify the detention of the accused persons. The State has no evidence whatsoever except the visa cards and the gadgets that they purport to have retrieved from the accused persons,” Mutsvangwa’s lawyer said.
Mutsvangwa was arrested from his Mount Pleasant residence by detectives from the Criminal Investigations Department’s Commercial Crimes Division.
