Grace Mugabe & son cleared of grabbing Lebanese businessman’s houses over botched $1,3 million diamond ring deal

First Lady Grace Mugabe and her son Mr Russell Goreraza were yesterday cleared by Judge president George Chiweshe of grabbing Lebanese businessman Jamal Ahmed’s houses over a botched diamond ring deal. The judgement means that Ahmed has an option of suing the police if he wants his houses vacated.

In his ruling Chiweshe said that Justice Clement Phiri had erred and set aside the ruling in terms of Rule 449(1) (a) of the High Court Rules 1971. Ahmed was ordered to pay the costs of suit. Chiweshe also said that Mugabe and her son were never served with the urgent chamber application since they were out of the country on holiday. Police have since stated that they are occupying Ahmed’s houses as part of an investigation into accusations of money laundering and other offences against him.
