Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>MUTARE-BASED pharmacist Douglas Nzombe Chiutsi has landed himself in trouble after he allegedly forged invoices and stole US$258 708 from his employer.<\/p>\n

Chiutsi, represented by Johanne Zviuya, appeared before Mutare provincial magistrate Tendai Mahwe who denied him bail on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The complainant in the matter is Healthwell pharmacy T\/A Clique Pharmacy, represented by Simbarashe Mushambi Dube.<\/p>\n

He was remanded in custody to today for bail application.<\/p>\n

Chiutsi was the complainant’s managing director solely responsible for ordering, physically receiving, entering stock into the ProPharm system and making payments for stock received.<\/p>\n

In the course of duty, he allegedly failed to capture information on some goods received and created fake invoices which were not backed by invoices before pocketing the money.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Nyasha Mukonyora told the court that in other instances, Chiutsi allegedly raised fictitious invoices in the name of Varichem Pharmaceuticals, giving pseudo names of Varichem Pharmaceuticals agents.<\/p>\n

The accused would then sign and collect cash from accounts to pay the suppliers using fraudulently populated goods, receive vouchers or forged invoices and convert it to own use.<\/p>\n
