Miriam Mangwaya ·
THE bail hearing for Henrietta Rushwaya and her four alleged accomplices in the gold smuggling case concluded yesterday with the State insisting that the five had committed a serious offence and were likely to abscond trial if granted bail.
In their bail application, Rushwaya, Pakistani businessman Ali Muhammad, Stephen Chenjerai Tserayi, Raphios Mufandauya and Gift Karanda denied attempting to smuggle the 6kg gold.
They are being charged with smuggling, illegal possession of gold, criminal abuse of office and defeating the course of justice.
