According to reports, people used the money to buy cars and home electrical appliances.
The fraudulent activity was uncovered during an audit by Access Forex.
Bhudiyo and Mashumba were apprehended in Mutare, and authorities recovered a Toyota Hiace and a Nissan Note, which had allegedly been bought with the illicit funds.
