Seven people including a 39 year old woman are answering charges of conspiracy, illegal making of money and illegal possession of fake foreign currency and equipment allegedly used in producing such money.
The suspects are James Ndlovu, 39; Dinesi Thomu, 28; Ramsey Nambezi, 40; MacFord Chiwele, 60; Mavuto Chauluka, 27; Alinane and the woman Jubeda Karim Dudha.
Lewis Luba representing the state told Dalton Road Magistrate Margaret Selemani that the police arrested the accused persons between Namadzi and Makoka in Chiradzulu in May this year on allegation that they conspired to engage in illegal business of making foreign currencies contrary to section 404 of the penal code.
Luba also said the people were also accused of illegal possession of fake United States of America dollars equivalent to K9,669,600, equipment and materials used in making the alleged foreign currency contrary to section 374 (a) and (b) of the penal code respectively.
However, all the accused persons denied the charges and the court granted them bail on condition that they pay K5,000 cash each and produce two sureties each of K5,000 but not cash.
The court also ordered that they should be reporting to Southern Region Police Headquarters and that they also surrender their travelling documents to police.
