“Mr van Hoogstraten, of Uckfield, East Sussex, owns about 200 properties in Zimbabwe”

He doesn’t own them, really, not in the “peoples’ paradise” of Zimbabwe.

He forget to bribe someone or are the Zim thugs looking to make one big score in ransom?

If he’s stupid enough to invest in Zimbabwe, he can’t be much of a tycoon.

van Hoogstraten was a major supporter of Mugabe. His properties escaped confiscation for that reason.

So his arrest is a seismic event.

He is or was a Mugabe supporter known for his “kill whitey” rhetoric. Too bad, nah.
