Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. The High Court is this week expected to hear a corruption case in which the State is seeking to recover more than US$32 million and seize numerous properties from former Police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri and his family.
Chihuri, who has been in exile since the military coup that toppled the late former president Robert Mugabe in 2017, reportedly siphoned millions of dollars for his personal, family and cronies’ benefit during the 25 years he was police boss.
He allegedly sold five properties between 2017 and 2018, and buyers paid a total of US$620 000 for the properties.
The five properties were registered in the names of Chihuri’s family members and the State is still trying to figure out how ownership changed in respect of two other assets previously owned by the Chihuri family.
Prosecutor-General Kumbirai Hodzi has filed a fresh application seeking an explanation on the sale of the properties. The properties sold include:
The Chihuri family is also expected to explain how they acquired Lot 3 of Plot 4 of Juliasdale, Nyanga, a property worth US$3 860 000, and 14453 Ibhalabhala Crescent, Selbourne Park in Bulawayo.
