A HOUSE worth US$100 000 in Ruwa’s Mabvazuva suburb has been forfeited to the state after the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) won a landmark High Court ruling against ex-Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals Stores Controller Russell Mwenye who acquired the stand using proceeds of a corruptly awarded tender.

Justice Benjamin Chikowero made the ruling, coincidentally on International Day Against Corruption, marking Zimbabwe’s first-ever asset forfeiture in terms of the Unexplained Wealth Order provisions of the Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crimes Amendment Act.
“This is an application for a civil forfeiture order brought in terms of section 80 of the Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime Act (Chapter 9:24),” Justice Chikowero said.
