The trial of suspended CID director Commissioner Crispen Charumbira was on Monday postponed to January 10 next year as the presiding magistrate was not available and Harare magistrate Mrs Vongai Muchuchuti stepped in to formally move the trial back.
Charumbira, who is represented by lawyer Mr Norman Bvekwa, denies corruption charges levelled against him.
During previous sittings, State witness Constable Brian Moyo said many police officers had written letters of complaint against Charumbira, but they failed to reach intended destinations since he had allegedly “captured” police systems.
“He was so powerful during that time and we were afraid of him. I was even afraid of arresting him and no one could arrest him.”
Cst Moyo told the court that some of his workmates wanted to take the matter to the Commissioner-General of police, but were blocked.
