Mugabe allies implicated in Panama papers

Two prominent business people with suspected links to President Robert Mugabe have been fingered in the on-going international financial fall-out over what has become known as the Panama Papers.

The Panama Papers are a series of confidential financial information leaks held by Panama based law firm Mossack Fonseca and Mugabe is named as having allegedly benefited through Zanu-PF linked business tycoons John Bredenkamp and Billy Rautenbach.

According to reports in 2009 Mossack Fonseca ended its relationship with Bredenkamp allegedly after revelations of his links with Mugabe.
