Principal Resident Magistrate Huruma Shaidi gave such order after receiving a letter from the office of the Zonal Crime Officer (ZCO), who sought permission to further grill the accused persons in respect of the charges they are facing.
They are Tiagi Masamaki Kabisi (56), the Customs Commissioner and Habibu Hamisi Mponezya (45), who is Manager Customs Service Centre, Bulton Mackleans Mponezya (51), the Manager Customs Control and Enforcement, Eliachi Heriel Mrema (31), who is in Charge of Azam Inland Container Deport (ICD).
The rest include Khamis Ali Omary (48), Senior Customs Business Analysts, Harun Lyson Mpande (28), TRA Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Manager and Raymond Adolf Louis (39), who is Operations, Safety and Security Manager at Azam ICD, and Ashraf Yusuf Khan (59), Manager, Azam ICD. Earlier, State Attorney Estazia Wilson, for the prosecution, informed the court that they were still conducting the investigations into the matter.
She requested the case to be postponed to another mention date. However, before adjournment of the case, the trial attorney pointed out that the prosecution has been copied with a letter from the police, which has been addressed to the court, seeking orders for the accused persons to be handed back to the police for further questioning.
The magistrate acknowledged that the court had received the letter in question but could not reveal in which areas the accused were going to be grilled. He, however, extended the bail to the accused persons until March 29, when the case would be mentioned.
It is alleged that between June 1, and November 12, last year, at an unknown place in the city of Dar es Salaam, the accused persons conspired together to defraud the government of the United Republic of Tanzania of 12.7bn/-.
According to the prosecution, the accused persons falsely represented that 329 containers held at Azam Inland Container Deport (ACID) were legally released after paying the respective tax.
The prosecution told the court that within the same period in the city, by failure to discharge their duties in reasonable manner, the accused persons caused the government to suffer a pecuniary loss of the said 12.7bn/-.
