Former Zambian intelligence boss Xavier Chungu, facing corruption charges with former president Frederick Chiluba, was arrested late Monday on charges of vehicle theft, a security source said on Tuesday. Chungu, who with Chiluba is accused of stealing more than 40 million dollars (31.5 million euros) from the state during Chiluba's 10-year presidency from 1991, was arrested at his suburban home in the capital and is currently in detention, the source said. "They have picked him up in connection with theft of motor vehicles which is a non-bailable offence," the source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
