Telecommunications firm MTN on Friday announced that Ugandan Director of Public Prosecutions Richard Buteera has withdrawn a tax evasion court case, brought under private prosecution, against a number of MTN Uganda executives on the basis that there was no evidence to prosecute.

In November 2012, MTN CEO Sifiso Dabengwa and 12 other senior managers had been summoned by a Ugandan court to face tax evasion charges.

MTN denied the allegations, saying a former employee, who MTN has, since, sued for embezzlement, initiated the case.

“The Chief Magistrate of the Buganda Road Court has formally accepted the withdrawal of the case. This brings to an end all matters related to the tax allegations, made by dismissed staff, against the MTN Uganda executives,” the operator said in a statement on Friday.

In addition to Dabengwa, the other executives who had faced charges were Charles Mbire, Mazen Mroué, Khumo Shuenyane, Nosipho Molope, Christian de Faria, Ignatius Sehoole, Nozipho-January Bardill, Anthony Mutyaba Katamba, François Tefouet, Mervyn Immelman, Mike Blackburn and Nigel Williams.
