Zimbabwean charged with money laundering

Calgary — Police in Canada have arrested a Zimbabwean, Simbarashe Godfrey Nzvimbo, in connection with a money-laundering scheme that resulted in about a quarter of a million dollars stolen.

On July 30, police were contacted by a bank that reported a theft of bank drafts and that the stolen documents were used to illegally obtain large amounts of money at a casino.

Officials at the bank told police they believed that a worker at the bank was responsible, and about $255 000 had been obtained.
