Court rules in favour of State prosecutor Reza

A HARARE court on Thursday dismissed an application for recusal of acting deputy prosecutor general Michael Reza from prosecuting a fraud case involving a property developer George Katsimberis.

Katsimberis who is being represented by Tinomuda Chinyoka, had filed an application for Reza’s recusal arguing that he wrote a letter to the police that his witness, Roy Nyabvure had finished testifying in a matter Katsimberis is accused of fraud after he allegedly built a showroom in Borrowdale using a fraudulently acquired plan.

Katsimberis said Reza’s letter led to Nyabvure’s arrest.
