Gumbo, who is out on $1 000 bail, appeared at the Harare Magistrates Court before Magistrate Don Ndirowei today where the trial date was set.
Allegations against Gumbo are that in 2010, he bought offices to be used by the ZACC in Mt Pleasant using government funds but registered the property in the name of a company he jointly owned with four of his subordinates- Sukai Tongogara, Edwin Mubataripi, Christopher Chisango and Gibson Mangwiro.
The state, led by Michael Mugabe alleges that Gumbo requested $1 680 000,00 from the Ministry of Home Affairs to purchase the property when in actual fact the cost was $1,2 million.
Gumbo is being charged with prejudicing the Commission with actual intent and the total prejudice is pegged at $435 000,00.
