AirZim boss arrested

SUSPENDED Air Zimbabwe company secretary and acting managing director Grace Pfumbidzayi was yesterday picked up by the police CID Serious Frauds Squad on six charges of fraud involving $7 million in relation to an alleged insurance scam at the airline.

This follows publication of an external forensic audit report implicating several senior AirZim officials.

The arrest comes hardly a day after Transport minister Obert Mpofu dissolved the entire Ozias Bvute-led AirZim board with immediate effect for failure to observe good corporate governance.
