Zimbabwean businessman Justice Mayor Wadyajena has reclaimed his fleet of vehicles that were seized by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) in 2022 following a High Court order for the return of the vehicles, which included haulage trucks and a Lamborghini SUV.
The court’s decision comes after a lengthy legal battle that began when ZACC seized the vehicles as part of an investigation into allegations that the businessman had defrauded the Cotton Company of Zimbabwe.
The charges against Wadyajena and his associates were later dropped but ZACC remained in possession of the seized property.
The High Court then ruled that the continued seizure of the vehicles without a legal basis was unlawful and ordered their immediate return.
ZACC and the National Prosecuting Authority have filed appeals against the decision, but the court has allowed Wadyajena to take possession of his vehicles while the appeals are pending.
