The fuel, valued at 56,400 US dollars, belonged to the supplier Relco Energy. Prosecutors state that Trilis Investments ordered the petrol and collected it from a storage facility using a standard release order. Instead of preparing for payment, the company allegedly directed the consignment to its own service stations. Tsikai, a marketing representative for the complainant, is accused of independently selling a portion of the fuel to other stations in Chitungwiza by falsely using Relco Energy's name. When Relco Energy requested payment, director Chipondene denied receiving the fuel delivery. The case is scheduled for trial next month following a police investigation. [/QUOTE]
