Zimbabwe’s new president,
Emmerson Mnangagwa, on Tuesday announced a three-month ultimatum for the return
of funds stolen out of the country by individuals and corporations.
Mnangagwa in a statement warned
that the government will arrest and prosecute those who fail to comply at the
end of February 2018.
The statement reads, “The
government of Zimbabwe is gazetting a three-month moratorium within which those
involved in the malpractice can bring back the funds and assets, with no
questions being asked or charges preferred against them.
“The amnesty period will run from
December 1.
“Upon expiry of the three-month
window, the government will proceed to effect arrest of all those who would not
have complied with this directive and will ensure that they are prosecuted in
terms of the country’s laws.
“The military operation which saw
tanks rolling down the street and culminated in Mugabe’s resignation, helped
unearth cases where huge sums of money and other assets were illegally
externalised by certain individuals and corporate bodies.
