津巴布韦检察官对两名因涉及假山羊合同的770万美元欺诈而被定罪的男子寻求35年徒刑。 Zimbabwean prosecutors seek 35-year sentences for two men convicted in a $7.7 million fraud involving fake goat contracts.

津巴布韦检察官正在寻求对商人Moses Mpofu和Mike Chimombe判处35年监禁,他们被判犯有770万美元的欺诈罪,与已绝版的总统山羊计划有关。 Zimbabwean prosecutors are seeking a 35-year prison sentence for businessmen Moses Mpofu and Mike Chimombe, convicted in a $7.7 million fraud linked to the defunct Presidential Goat Scheme. 这对夫妇利用伪造文件取得政府合同,以提供632 000多只山羊,并将裁决转让给一家未注册公司,该公司没有有效的税务许可,并使用欺诈证书。 The pair used falsified documents to secure a government contract to supply over 632,000 goats, with the award transferred to an unregistered company lacking valid tax clearance and using a fraudulent certificate. 检察官争辩说,欺骗是严重的,是针对脆弱社区的,要求判处超过20年最高标准的刑罚,以遏制腐败。 Prosecutors argue the deception was severe and targeted vulnerable communities, demanding a sentence beyond the standard 20-year maximum to deter corruption. Mpofu道歉,责怪公司,而不是他自己,并说他缺少归还资金。 Mpofu apologized, blaming the company, not himself, and said he lacks funds for restitution. Chimombe的律师说他愿意偿还,列举价值超过100万美元的资产,并强调了他的家庭责任和初犯身份。 Chimombe’s lawyer said he is willing to repay, citing assets worth over $1 million, and emphasized his family responsibilities and first-time offender status. 法院将判刑推迟至星期一。 The court postponed sentencing to Monday.
