Katsimberis suffers yet another drawback

HIGH COURT judge Justice Pisirayi Kwenda has dismissed an urgent chamber application filed by property mogul George Katsimberis who was seeking to stop his fraud trial before Harare regional magistrate Vongai Muchuchuti Guwuriro, who he accuses of being biased and conflicted.

He wants the magistrate to recuse herself from hearing the matter and is also demanding the services of a Greek interpreter saying he is not conversant with the English language.

Katsimberis approached the High Court recently complaining that he would be prejudiced if the trial continues before his concerns are addressed.
