By A Correspondent | Marry Chiwenga’s cousin, Genius Kadungure was unreachable early Wednesday morning a development that led to confirmed revelations that he has been arrested.
ZimEye was at pains to establish the man’s whereabouts at 7.am. His Whatsapp status said he was last online at 2.50pm on Wednesday.
A male Mubaiwa family member told ZimEye, “I haven’t talked to him ever since his mum passed away.”
Soon after that, his lawyer, Jonathan Samkange confirmed he has been arrested.
“Yes it’s true my client has been arrested. He’s currently detained by the police CID Anti-Corruption Unit for fraud after they suspected that his Bentley vehicle was undervalued to misrepresent on the payment of duty,” he said.
Police investigations allege that around the 22nd December last year, Kadungure allegedly undervalued the cost of a vehicle so that he pays less duty.
The report says he connived with a clearing agent and manufactured a purchase invoice which they tendered to the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra).
Kadungure was last year ordered to pay an additional US$58 655,09 duty on top of another US$81 469 already paid to Zimra for his recently imported Bentley Continental GT vehicle.
Papers say the vehicle in question is valued at R1,9 million.
The development comes after Kadungure streamed up [online] a video of himself buying a two-seater Ferrari 488 Spider sports car for US$350 000.
Meanwhile, Ginimbi also has a pending case on money-laundering still to go for trial.
All this comes as his cousin , Marry was facing a pile of incriminating allegations from her husband, Constantino Chiwenga, a development that has seen her being returned to prison.
