Police Arrest Seven Company Executives For Manufacturing Fake Alcohol

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has confirmed the arrest of seven executives from an undisclosed company implicated in the illegal production and distribution of unlicensed alcoholic beverages.

Some of the illicit brews, including one branded JAY-DOX, were reportedly made from ethanol, water, and flavouring agents before being sold to retail outlets and unsuspecting members of the public.

In a statement, the ZRP said investigations are ongoing and more details will be released in due course.

Later that day, acting on a tip-off, officers arrested Prince Piano (33) and seized a large consignment of unregistered medicinal products.

The haul included 540 bottles of Broncleer cough syrup and 40 bottles of Astra Pain syrup, which had been concealed inside boxes of oats and full-cream milk on a bus trailer.

On 1 July, three men, Tuesday Madoro (43), Walter Magore (42), and Wilson Mukachana (33), were arrested at the Parks illegal crossing point with 10.5 kilogrammes of dagga in their possession.
