The High Court granted bail to two applicants charged in an economic crime case, ordering statutory cash deposits, sureties, travel restraints, and passport surrender.
The prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt against the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd appellants through consistent evidence, constructive and actual possession, and corroborated confession statements. The chain of custody was maintained for non-easily altered items. The conviction of the 4th appellant was not supported by evidence due to variance in dates and insufficient linkage to the offence.
The High Court held that the trial judgment was a nullity for failing to state points for determination and the offences and sections of law convicted under.
The High Court of Tanzania held that the prosecution had not established a prima facie case in a drugs-exportation and organised-crime prosecution and acquitted all four accused.
