Former Affirmative Action Group (AAG) president and businessman Mike Chimombe who was arrested yesterday on allegations of US$16 000 fraud has been released on ZW$50 000 bail.
Harare Magistrate Dennis Mangosi said the State represented by Pardon Dziva must sign a consent paper before Chimombe’s release Tuesday afternoon at 2 PM.
Chimombe was arrested yesterday after he allegedly swindled a Harare businessman Brian Marungamise of US$16 900 after selling him a non-existent housing stand.
Chimombe was picked up from his Borrowdale Brooke residence by Criminal Investigative Detectives on Monday after allegedly refusing to be arrested by uniformed Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officers.
Brian Marungamise is said to have paid US$16 900 for the stand in Tynwald, before discovering that he had been duped.
Police on Monday confirmed Chimombe’s arrest with two of his accomplices Heymish Katsande (33) and Steven Chimombe (33) arrested in July 2022 having already appeared in court where the matter was remanded to 26 October 2022.
