The State has appealed to the Supreme Court against a High Court ruling ordering the return of Mayor Wadyajena’s trucks.
The Zanu PF bigwig’s
fleet of 23 tonne haulage trucks and a Lamborghini SUV were seized in August
2022 when he and five others were charged of defrauding the Cotton Company of
Zimbabwe of over US$5,8 million.
Despite Wadyajena’s recent legal victory at the High Court
to get his vehicles back, the court order was rendered ineffective following an
appeal to the Supreme Court.
The Prosecutor General, through the Asset Forfeiture Unit
senior counsel, Mr Chris Mutangadura told The Herald that :“We have noted an
appeal to the Supreme Court. We are seeking to overturn the lower court
decision because we strongly feel that we have a strong case for forfeiture of
the assets.”
