An Agribank employee is under investigation by police detectives after he reportedly transferred $11 000 from a bank account belonging to a city company, Riskev Holiday, into an AFM church bank account without the knowledge of the company officials.
When questioned about the unauthorised transfer, the employee, Kennedy Matimbura, said the $11 000 was a tithe.
The company officials also later noticed that transactions of $83 000, $15 000 and $640 had also been siphoned from their bank account in yet unclear circumstances.
Police confirmed the incident on Wednesday.
