The imminent arrests and arraignments are part of an
ongoing blitzkrieg being led by the National Prosecuting Authority targeting
currency manipulators.
Prosecutor-General Mr Kumbirai Hodzi told The Sunday Mail
yesterday that the onslaught was gathering momentum.
The operation has so far accounted for 20 accused persons
some of whom are directors of accused companies who are languishing in remand
prison after being denied bail by the courts.
“In general terms we have heightened the blitz,” said Mr
Hodzi.
“I have been holding consultative meetings with my
commanders and I have been informed that they have identified big names that
are violating foreign currency regulations.
“The evidence against them is overwhelming and their arrest
is very imminent.”
He declined to divulge the names of the individuals saying
this may prompt some of them to flee.
“Let us not scare away the birds. We are going to release
the names once they are arrested.
“This time we are not going to do it the way we did in the
past. We used to launch such blitz and then relax.
“However, we have committed ourselves to sustain the blitz
until there is stability in the market. “We have a team which is identifying
these violators and compiling evidence against them.
“We are working in collaboration with other state agencies
in this regard.” Sunday Mail
