By Terrence Mawawa, Chivhu| A senior Central Intelligence boss was spotted on Closed Circuit Television using a fake US $100 dollar note to buy goods at the local Pick and Pay Supermarket branch.
Police officers in Chivhu spotted by ZimEye.com have demonstrated reluctance on the matter. A senior employee at Chivhu Pick and Pay who begged for anonymity for fear, revealed a senior Chivhu based CIO boss was last week caught on camera buying from the giant retail outlet using fake money.
“It is true that a senior intelligence officer was caught on camera purchasing goods using a fake US $ 100 note. The CIO boss also threatened the girl on the till so the situation is very tricky. The police have not done anything since they are afraid of prosecuting the intelligence boss,” he said.
Police details are jittery on investigations and Mashonaland East Acting Police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Tendai Mwanza said the written report on the matter had gone missing from the official tray- adding he had nothing further to comment on it all.
Police details in Chivhu town said the matter was too sensitive, indicating the magnitude of fear, even in the ZRP. It is understood CIO operatives are frequenting the Chivhu Pick and Pay premises to monitor the situation.
