The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission has announced the arrest of ZRP Head of Asset Recovery and Forfeiture Unit, Chief Superintendent Josephat Mutipforo on charges of criminal abuse of duty as a public officer.

This was revealed by ZACC on its Twitter account.

ZACC added that Mutipforo will appear in court at the Harare Magistrates Court today.

“ZACC has arrested Chief Sup Josephat Mutipforo the ZRP Head of Asset Recovery and Forfeiture Unit. He is being charged with criminal abuse of duty as a public officer.He is appearing in court today at the Harare Magistrates court,” the anti-graft body said.

ZACC has arrested a number of political heavyweights and senior civil servants on charges of corruption though convictions have been hard to come by as most of the arrested officials are acquitted, putting to question the country’s commitment to end graft amid allegations of catch and release.
