Mnangagwa's daughter-in-law battles bail over fake ID

Daily News and New Zimbabwe report that Kelsea Tafirenyika, President Mnangagwa's daughter-in-law, will spend another weekend in custody as her bail ruling is delayed until September 1. Her lawyers introduced a novel defense, arguing that the identity document she allegedly possessed in the name of Gertrude Baeza could have been AI-manufactured. The case involves US$9 million money laundering charges. The delay highlights the legal system's struggle with digital evidence and the high-profile nature of the case. The AI defense has drawn attention from legal experts questioning its validity. The prolonged proceedings underscore the political sensitivity surrounding the president's family and the challenges of adjudicating modern evidence.
