Artists and TikTokers Accused of 'Fintech Investment' Fraud Plead Not Guilty

Artists and TikTokers accused of 'Fintech investment' fraud appeared at the Federal High Court in Lideta today, where they officially pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against them. Following their denial, the public prosecutor announced intentions to present evidence. The court has scheduled hearings for November 28, 29, and 30, 2019 (E.C.) to hear the prosecution's witnesses. The prosecutor is expected to call 91 witnesses to testify in this case. Previously, the prosecution had requested that the defendants' bail rights be revoked due to comments they made on social media, but the court rejected the request and opted to proceed with the normal judicial schedule with a stern warning.
