The Zimbabwe Republic Police has confirmed the arrest of former Affirmative Action Group (AAG) president Mike Chimombe on allegations of fraud.
Chimombe was reportedly picked up from his Borrowdale Brooke residency by Criminal Investigative Detectives on Monday after allegedly refusing to be arrested by uniformed Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officers.
The ZRP said Chimombe was arrested in connection with fraudulent land deals which occurred between August 2020 and December 2021.
“The ZRP confirms the arrest of Mike Chimombe (41) for fraudulent land deals which occurred between August 2020 and December 2021 in Harare where the complainant was duped US$16 900. The other suspects, Heymish Katsande (33) and Steven Chimombe (33) were arrested in July 2022 and have already appeared in court where the matter was remanded to 26 October 2022,” said the ZRP
Sources close to the investigations revealed that Chimombe is accused to have sold a non-existent stand to Harare businessman, Brian Marungamise.
Marungamise is said to have paid US$16,000 for the stand in Tynwald, before discovering that he has been duped.
