Zimbabwe’s High Court orders the forfeiture to the State of eight vehicles linked to fugitives, following an application for civil forfeiture. According to reporting from NewZimbabwe, the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) states that the ruling follows a case brought by the Prosecutor-General as part of the civil forfeiture process. The application is connected to eight individuals named in the reporting, described as fugitives of the law, including Square Chimweta, Hilton Mutsopotsi, Daniel Chijoko, Joseph Meki, Leonard Huni, Makudo Muzenda, and Stephen Mudzingwa (with the list tied to the vehicles subject to forfeiture).
Zimbabwe Independent similarly reports the court’s decision, stating that the High Court directs the vehicles to be forfeited to the State. Both sources present the same core outcome: a High Court forfeiture order under civil forfeiture proceedings, involving vehicles associated with people who are fugitives.
