THE PICTURE▸
Zimbabwe took part in INTERPOL's Operation Red Card 2.0 (Dec 2025–Jan 2026), which targeted investment, mobile-money and loan-app fraud across 16 African countries (INTERPOL, Feb 2026). INTERPOL did not publish Zimbabwe-specific figures. Zimbabwe is not a party to the Budapest Convention (Wikipedia, 2026), and cyber-fraud falls under the Cyber and Data Protection Act 2021. We did not find an official by-type fraud breakdown or a well-documented fraud conviction in this research pass.
