FRANCISTOWN: Failure by the State to formally lay charges against two suspects has led to their freedom in a case where 33 persons and companies are alleged to have corrupted public officers at the Attorney General's Chambers and department of lands respectively.

Regional Magistrate, Lorraine Makati-Lesang yesterday set free two of the accused persons, Winson Boikanyo Keosimile, the director of Sani Care and a company named Devotee Investments (Pty) Ltd represented by Dagin Bawa, resident at Area G in Francistown.
