Two men from Chicago are reported to have been charged yesterday, one in absentia, with trying to assist President Robert Mugabe to lobby for the lifting of sanctions on Zimbabwe.
The deal is reported to have been agreed two months after the signing of the Global Political Agreement.
The two men, Prince Asiel Ben Israel and Gregory Turner, are reported to have been promised US$3.4 million and met Mugabe and central bank governor Gideon Gono on a number of occasions.
Turner did not appear in court and is believed to be in Israel.
It was not clear why the case only came up yesterday, three days after Mugabe won the presidential elections.
The United States is disputing the election result.
