Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief Executive Officer of fashion house-Moshions, Moise Turahirwa, has been remanded for 30 days by Nyarugenge Primary Court after his bail request was denied.<\/p>\n

Turahirwa, who was present in court during the ruling, is facing charges of drug abuse and use of forged documents.<\/p>\n

During the bail ruling on May 15, the presiding judge stated that there are reasonable grounds to suspect Turahirwa of drug abuse. The judge cited evidence from the investigation, including laboratory findings that showed a quantity of 321 in his blood, as well as the discovery of cannabis in his shirt found in his room.<\/p>\n

However, the judge emphasized that there are no reasonable grounds to suspect Turahirwa of forging documents. This assertion is supported by the argument that the original passport shows no signs of tampering.<\/p>\n

The prosecution, during the bail hearing on May 10, presented grounds for bringing Turahirwa to court. They accused him of forging a copy of his passport by changing the gender from male, as indicated in the original document, to F (female), as well as altering the age.<\/p>\n

The prosecution also highlighted that Turahirwa had used cannabis on multiple occasions, and a fragment of cannabis was found in a shirt discovered in his room. They presented evidence, including tests from the Rwanda Forensic Laboratory confirming the illegal use of cannabis, as well as a conversation between Turahirwa and an individual in Italy, where he shared a forged copy of his passport.<\/p>\n

Turahirwa defended himself by claiming that the drugs found in his bloodstream were a result of smoking cannabis during his two-year stay in Italy. He denied the accusation of passport forgery, stating that the alterations made to his passport copy were solely for his upcoming new movie titled ‘Kwanda Season One.’ He also stated that he had never worn the particular shirt in which the fragment of cannabis was found.<\/p>\n

One of Turahirwa’s lawyers, Bayisabe, argued that there was no crime in modifying a copy of the passport since his client couldn’t use the copy to travel anywhere. Turahirwa’s sureties, including his sister, father, and his company Moshions, which his lawyers said was worth $3 million, were presented before the court.<\/p>\n
