Ex-Zinara boss’ properties frozen

Former Zimbabwe National Road Administration (Zinara) chief executive officer Frank Chitukutuku’s properties worth over US$20 million have been frozen by the High Court, following an application filed by Prosecutor-General Kumbirai Hodzi.

Hodzi recently petitioned the court, seeking an order to freeze Chitukutuku’s properties, pending full investigations into how he amassed his wealth.

In his application, Hodzi said he wanted an order compelling Chitukutuku to give a detailed statement to the head of Asset Forfeiture Unit, which is within the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), Commercial Crimes Division and another order interdicting him to dispose any of his properties.
