Facts of the Case
Background
The five accused, senior officers at ZINARA, were charged with criminal abuse of duty for engaging third-party companies to source foreign currency to service a loan owed by Infralink to the Development Bank of Southern Africa. The State alleged they acted without Board authority to show favour to the companies, while the defence claimed they were acting on behalf of Infralink with the knowledge of their superiors to avert a financial crisis.
