AN EcoCash agent based in Harare was last week remanded in custody after she was arrested on charges of defrauding her employer US$5 500.
Lully Mataya from Hatcliffe appeared before Harare magistrate Rufaro Panavanhu on Friday facing fraud charges and was denied bail.
Mataya will back in court tomorrow for her bail application.
Prosecutor Rufaro Chonzi said between January 13 and 15 this year, Mataya allegedly stole money from Nyasha Shenje by transferring various amounts from her account to those of her relatives and friends.
Shenje discovered the offence when she tried to reconcile her books and Mataya failed to provide a satisfactory response.
A paper trail revealed that Mataya transferred different amounts totalling US$5 500.
