ED Unleashes CIO On Cash Barons As War Against Forex Dealers Heats Up….Top Politicians In The Line Of Fire

Ncube’s spokesperson William Mutumanje, popularly known as Acie Lumumba, yesterday confirmed that his boss would meet with Financial Intelligence Unit, Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) and the Zimbabwe Republic Police in a bid to sniff out the “economic saboteurs”.

“The minister is receiving briefs, yes, and will meet them (security sector) this week. The minister is committed to arresting the situation and the security agencies have narrowed down the source of the criminal activities. It’s clear we have dirty hands collaborating with government officials and it’s only a matter of time now before government shuts down the aggressive influence of the black market and clean up errant government complicity,” he said.

He added that the level at which RBZ had been “captured” by the suspected saboteurs required the intervention of the security sector, as Ncube would not be able to execute the job alone.

“There are directors at RBZ, especially, who are holding industry captive. The corruption at director level of the RBZ is pure poison and there is no single business that doesn’t know that the directors are out of control. RBZ has been captured and the governor will need security sector support to clean that up,” he said.

The government dragnet is also reportedly targeting top politicians working in cahoots with officials at the central bank
