Two ZIMRA Officers Arrested Over Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz Scandal

The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has arrested two ZIMRA officials based at Plumtree Border Post over allegations of fraudulently processing the exit of two luxury vehicles from the country.

The officers, Edwin Mhondiwa Chabuda and Upenyu Chaurura, are accused of criminal abuse of duty as public officers.

According to investigations, the two allegedly authorised the export of a Lamborghini Urus and a Mercedes-Benz GLE 53 without physically inspecting the vehicles, contrary to ZIMRA’s standard operating procedures.

They are further accused of falsely recording that the two vehicles had left Zimbabwe when they had actually remained in the country.

ZACC later recovered the luxury vehicles at a lodge in Newlands, Harare, last week.

The two suspects are expected to appear before the Plumtree Magistrates’ Court tomorrow to answer to the charges.
