Levison, Shingi Muringi, a controversial businessman, was remanded in detention until Friday, which is another blow in his ongoing fraud case.
The choice was made in response to Muringi’s court appearance on Saturday, when it was anticipated that he would submit a bail request after his petition to escape remand was denied.

But Muringi was noticeably absent from the courtroom as Marewanazvo Gofa, the regional magistrate, presided. It was discovered that he was attempting to overturn an arrest warrant that had been issued for him the year before. Magistrate Gofa responded by postponing the hearings until May 10.
The complainant was led to believe that Muringi, who works for the gasoline supplier company Last King Holdings (Pvt) Ltd, was going to buy 120,000 liters of petrol, according to information presented before the court. He promised money right away after delivery.
Based on these guarantees, the complainant provided the fuel, but they were not reimbursed. Then, according to court documents, Muringi allegedly sold the petrol and used the money to buy a Toyota Fortuner.
To make matters more complicated, Shingi Muringi is accused of sending forged invoices totaling USD $125,000 on April 27 while pretending to have deposited the money into the complainant’s accounts. The complainant quickly reported the fraud to the authorities after realizing it was fraudulent.
