Higher Education minister Professor Jonathan Moyo has defended Finance Minister, Patrick Chinamasa’s son after a rumour mill swept across social media on Sunday that Tino has been arrested with a large amount of US dollars stashed in the boot of his car.
Moyo , writing on his microblogging page twitter said , “My reliable information is that it’s a naked lie. Young Tino Chinamasa is at home in Harare right now. Dirty tricks!”
“Also $7 million is a lot of money for carry on luggage!”, he added
According to reports Tino was nabbed at the Beitbridge border and some are putting the amount of cash he had at $7 million.
An unnamed Financial Gazette reporter tweeted this morning : “I am told that Chinamasa’s son has been arrested at Beitbridge border post with US $7million he was taking out of country.”
It is said that the officer who stumbled on the loot put his foot down, refusing to cut a deal and took him in. This, however, is unconfirmed.-Online
