Zimbabwe imekamata ndege moja ya Marekani iliyopatikana imebeba mamilioni ya pesa na maiti ya mtu mmoja.
Wafanyikazi katika uwanja wa ndege wa kimataifa wa Harare, wanasema waligundua damu ilikuwa ikivunjwa kutoka kwa ndege moja ya kibinafsi iliyotua ikiomba kuongeza mafuta.
Ndege hiyo inayomilikiwa na shirika dogo la ndege la Western Global Airlines ilisajiliwa nchini Marekani.
Yamkini ndege hiyo ya kibinafsi ilikuwa ikitoka Ujerumani ikielekea Afrika Kusini.
Mkuu wa halmashauri inayosimamia viwanja vya ndege vya Zimbabwe David Chawota anasema mamilioni ya pesa iliyopatikana katika ndege hiyo ni mali ya benki kuu ya Afrika Kusini.
Shirika la habari la FIn24la Afrika kusini linasema kuwa ndege hiyo sasa imekamatwa ilikuruhusu uchunguzi wa kina ufanyike.
''kama mnavyofahamu swala hili linahusu watu wa mataifa mengine na ndege inayomilikiwa na kampuni iliyosajiliwa huko Marekani kwa hivyo tayari hii ni swala linalohusu serikali kuu'' alisema Chawota.
Msemaji wa polisi Charity Charamba alithibitisha tukio hilo.
Gazeti la serikali Herald lilimnukuu afisa mmoja aliyethibitisha kuwa ndege hiyo aina ya MD-11 trijet ilikuwa njiani kuelekea Afrika Kusini ikiwa na mamilioni ya Rand (Sarafu ya Afrika Kusini).
Kulingana naye rand milioni moja ni sawa na dola elfu sitini na mbili za Marekani $62,500.
Abiria waliokuwa ndani ya ndege hiyo walikuwa ni Wamarekani wawili raia mmoja wa Afrika Kusini na Mpakistani .
Magari kadhaa ya ubalozi wa Marekani yalionekana mapema leo yakiingia na kutoka katika uwanja huo.

Zimbabwe aviation authorities have impounded a US-registered cargo jet after a dead body believed to be a stowaway and millions of South African rand were found on board.
The Herald, a state-run newspaper, reported that the MD-11 trijet was travelling from Germany to South Africa “with millions of rands”. At the current exchange rate, 1m rand is worth £43,866.
Officials learned the money belonged to the South Africa Reserve Bank. Police planned to issue a statement later on Monday.
David Chawota, the general manager of Zimbabwe’s Civil Aviation Authority, said the plane had landed in Harare for refuelling. He said the jet, registered with Western Global Airlines, was impounded at Harare international airport on Sunday. Western Global Airlines is reportedly based in Estero, Florida.
The crew did not know there was someone else on the plane, according to a police officer. It appears from photos on social media that the person found dead had sneaked into the plane’s landing gear. The Herald said the crew included two Americans, a South African and a Pakistani.
In 2004, Harare airport authorities impounded a plane with 64 people on board, who were arrested on accusations that they had been on their way to stage a coup in Equatorial Guinea.
