Wadyajena Lamborghini, BMW X6 seized by ZIMRA
The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has seized a Lamborghini and latest BMW cars belonging to Zanu-PF legislator Justice Mayor Wadyajena who is accused of money laundering involving more than US$5,8 million.
The State media on Friday afternoon reported that the cars were seized on suspicion they were shipped to South Africa without following importation regulations.
The Gokwe-Nembudziya legislator was arrested on Tuesday by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) on Tuesday together with together with Cotton Company of Zimbabwe (Cottco) managing director Pius Manamike, head of marketing, operations, ginning and logistics, Maxmore Njanji and Procurement Specialist Fortunate Molai, and Pierpont Moncroix Director Chiedza Danha on suspicion that they laundered more than US$5, 8million.
The four were, however, on Thursday, granted ZWL 200 000 bail by magistrate Stanford Mbanje who ordered them to surrender their passports and report to police once every Friday.
Wadyajena through his lawyer Oliver Marwa told the court, during bail application, that ZACC had been “dragged into some political games”.
“There cannot be anything more evil than what ZAAC is doing against the fourth accused. This court is now being dragged into some political games and the public is crying that ZAAC is arresting and releasing people; it has turned into a ‘catch-and-release’ game,” said Marwa.
