Katona was later spotted in Beitbridge where he was
arrested. He appeared before Zvishavane Magistrate Charity Tonongera on Monday
last week facing charges of fraud.
The State says on February 22, 2022 Katona together with an
accomplice only identified as Nashy who is still at large hatched a plan to
defraud the complainant Worship Taurai.
They approached Taurai and misrepresented to him that they
were selling 500 grams of gold at USD $25 000 and he became interested in the
deal and paid the full amount. Taurai later realized that it was fake gold.
On May 26, 2022 Police detectives picked information that
the two accused were spotted in Beitbridge leading to Katona’s arrest.
The total prejudice was US$25 000 and nothing was
recovered. The case was remanded to June 10, 2022.
