Li Bowen, also known as Robert (33), appeared before Harare
regional magistrate Mrs Marehwanazvo Gofa charged with fraud.
He was admitted to US$500 bail and returns to court on
April 30.
Prosecuting, Mr Loveti Muringwa, alleged that on March 18,
Li lied to the complainant and Edson Makuvise that he could give them cash if
the complainant transfers US$200 000 into his Hebei Chengxin Co Ltd Bank of
China account, for his chemicals.
The State alleges that the complainant then transferred the
US$200 000 into the given account number and forwarded the proof of payment to
Li.
The complainant and Makuvise made efforts to get the money
from Li but he became evasive and resolved to report the case to the police.
As a result of the alleged fraud, the complainant suffered
a prejudice of US$200 000 and nothing was recovered. Herald
