POLICE in Zimbabwe have arrested Robert Mugabe junior – the son of former President Robert Mugabe for allegedly damaging property valued at $12,000.
Mugabe jnr. faces three counts of malicious damage to property and two charges of assault on a police officer.
Authorities claim that windscreens were allegedly smashed and an officer spat on.
Mugabe, who has since been freed, denied all three charges, claiming he is innocent. He is however trying to reach an amicable settlement.
His lawyer, Ashiel Mugiya argued in court that the prosecutors had not done a thorough investigation and suggested an out-of-court settlement as Mr Mugabe junior and the complainant are friends.
Mugabe could be summoned back to court, if the negotiations failed.
