On several occasions Muvandi, who is at large, misrepresented that there were classified operations to be done and instructed the chief accountant Lameck Jackson to deposit money into

Zvineyi’s NMB, CABS and Steward Bank accounts.
The court heard that Jackson transferred amounts varying from US$40 000 to US$66 000 into the supplied bank accounts.
