Zimbabwean prosecutors have withdrawn corruption charges against President Robert Mugabe's nephew, Leo Mugabe. Leo Mugabe and his wife, Veronica, walked free Wednesday [16 November] before they had entered their pleas. Mugabe and his wife were facing charges of contravening the Grain Marketing Board [GMB] Act and the Customs and Excise Duty Act. They were arrested three weeks ago after police acted on claims that in 2003, the two diverted 30 tonnes of flour worth 147m Zimbabwean dollars to Mozambique without having been cleared in terms of the law.
