Lawyers representing the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA), Anthony Chungu and Beatrice Mwangwela, have added two more accused persons in the ongoing K10 billion Mapeto Tax evasion scandal.
While not disclosing the names of the two additional suspects, the lawyers told the Blantyre Magistrates Court that the two accused are MRA employees and they are still being interrogated.
According to sources in within the MRA, the two employees are allegedly Tsepiso Kaunda based at Lilongwe Port, and George Mwaluka based at Chiponde Border Post in Mangochi.
The Blantyre Magistrate’s court is set to hear a bail application ruling later this afternoon for the five accused who include Mohammed Gaffar (Laitif’s son), Abdubl Rashid Bakali, Yaseen Muhammed and General Manager Martin Mpata.
