Mapeto DWS suffers double blow in MRA tax evasion case

Mapeto David Whitehead and Sons (DWS) Limited found itself in deep waters as both the High Court and the Supreme Court delivered adverse rulings against the company’s directors. The courts dismissed their pleas, dealing a significant blow to their case.

On Thursday, High Court Judge Joseph Chigona rejected an application and all preliminary objections raised by the executives of Mapeto DWS and two Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) customs officers in connection with the K16.5 billion tax evasion case.
