ZRP Arrests Wanted Man Over China Fraud Case

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) have arrested Xu Liyin in Harare after the individual was identified through an INTERPOL Red Notice linked to an alleged fraud case reported in China in 2023.

According to police, the arrest was the result of joint operations and intelligence sharing between Zimbabwean authorities, Chinese law enforcement, and INTERPOL.

Officers monitored the suspect’s movements before executing the arrest, highlighting ongoing cooperation between the ZRP and international policing bodies.

Authorities explained that an INTERPOL Red Notice serves as a request for the location and provisional arrest of a suspect, pending extradition or other legal proceedings. The next steps, they said, will be guided by established legal processes.

While police did not provide detailed information about the allegations from China, they confirmed the case involves suspected fraud activities dating back to 2023.

In a statement, the ZRP reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing the law and deepening international partnerships, stressing that Zimbabwe continues to collaborate with regional and global agencies in tackling transnational crime.
