Law firm barred from disbursing funds

Mtetwa and Nyambirai Legal Practitioners have been ordered by the Zimbabwe High Court to stop disbursing US$57 000 in cash that was found in one of their strong rooms during an investigation into a trust funds theft case involving US$32m. Zimbabwe Republic Police officers were investigating allegations against the firm’s accountant, Tendai Murambiza. New Zimbabwe reports that Rugwandi and Rujuwa Legal Practitioners claimed the money belonged to them and had been given to Murambiza for safekeeping by an associate of Mtetwa and Nyambirayi, from March 2016 to December last year.
