ZACC files fresh fraud charge against Mpofu,Chimombe
By Staff Writer
THE Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has added another fraud charge on Zanu PF businessmen Mike Chimombe and his partner Moses Mpofu.
The two, who are already in remand prison on allegations of defrauding the state of US$7 million in a botched Presidential goat scheme, were reportedly dragged from their cells by ZACC officers on Tuesday for further investigations.
They are expected in court today (31 July).
Their new charge is related to the US$9.2 million fraud case that has gotten Harare City Council town clerk Hosea Chisango and five others arrested.
According to a ZACC statement released Wednesday, Chimombe and Mpofu presented fake documents when they applied for a council tender to rehabilitate the capital’s dilapidated street lights in May this year.
Their financial report was also signed by a non-existent firm.
