Irene Samupindu, a suspected top forex dealer in Chipinge, has been arrested by police for allegedly sabotaging the Zimbabwean currency. She was found in possession of over US$16,000, R80,000, and ZiG23,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We have been monitoring her activities for some time, and we had received tip-offs that she was dealing in foreign currency illegally,” said a police spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We acted swiftly to apprehend her and put an end to her illegal activities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samupindu was arrested along with her sister Prudence, who is facing separate charges. The police recovered 16 debit cards, a CBZ point-of-sale machine, and large sums of cash from Samupindu’s possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The accused person was using a commuter omnibus as a front for her illegal activities,” said the spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We also found a box of insecticide on top of the vehicle, which she claimed was for sale, but we believe was just a cover for her true activities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samupindu and her sister were remanded to today for a bail application. The police are cracking down on money changers who are undermining the Zimbabwean currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We will not tolerate anyone sabotaging our economy,” said the spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We urge anyone with information on illegal forex dealers to come forward and assist us in bringing them to justice.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
