The Civil Aviation of Zimbabwe boss implicated himself on video when he explained to undercover Al Jazeera reporters how he facilitates smuggling at Robert Mugabe Airport.
Cleopas Chidodo also brought with him a junior who is involved in the facilitation of gold and dirty cash smuggling out and into the country.
The gold mafia consists of multiple rival gangs, and each has its own set of couriers. These relatively low-level operatives are the people who move gold and money between different countries. They mostly travel between Zimbabwe and Dubai, carrying dozens of kilos of gold and millions of dollars with them on the trips.
Documents and footage obtained by the I-Unit show couriers such as Patrick Keith, Johannes Swan Sr, Johannes Swan Jr, and Peter Bowen take these trips multiple times per month, each time carrying large amounts of gold and cash back and forth.
The couriers did not respond to our inquiries.
