Former Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, (ZIMRA) commissioner general Gershem Pasi who was arrested yesterday on allegations of criminal abuse of office has been since been released on $2 000 bail.

Pasi pleaded with the court to lower his bail fee which had been pegged at $5000, committing to pay $2000 which both parties eventually settled for.

It is the state’s case that Pasi acted unlawfully and inconsistent with his duties by engaging a third party in the acquisition of the information management system in the process causing an amount of US$23 763 780.65 to be transferred out of the country to beneficiaries who are yet to be determined.
