Zimbabwe cops are calling that Ecobank heist from October an inside operation after figuring out the perpetrators had help from security personnel at the company. Commissioner Paul Nyathi dropped the update while explaining that authorities are grinding to get the Vumbunu brothers extradited from South Africa after their arrest back in July. Another suspect named Bhekani Mlilo already got shipped back from Botswana and landed in custody.
Nyathi basically told financial companies they need to stop being lazy with background checks because workers with access keep teaming up with outside accomplices to rob their employers blind. He pointed to a bakery driver who allegedly faked a robbery with family members and security force contacts after getting sent to collect ten grand between Banket and Chinhoyi, splitting the cash among themselves afterward.
