Wizara ya Sheria imethibitisha kukamatwa kwa Dieudonne Murengerantwari ikiwa ni siku chache tangu afukuzwe kazi Oktoba 8, 2023 akidaiwa Kudhoofisha Uchumi wa Taifa hilo, Kujihusisha na Rushwa, Utakatishaji Fedha na Ubadhirifu wa Mali za Umma.
Mwanasheria Mkuu wa Serikali, Jenerali Leonard Manirakiza, amesema kwasasa Mtuhumiwa ambaye aliteuliwa kuongoza Benki Kuu ya Burundi Agosti 2022, anahojiwa juu ya tuhuma zinazomkabili hivyo, hawezi kutoa taarifa zaidi kuhusu suala hilo.
Hii ni mara ya pili kwa Burundi kuchukua hatua kama hiyo kwa Magavana wa Benki Kuu ambapo mwaka 2007, ilimkamata Isaac Bizimana, kwa tuhuma za kufanya malipo ya Mamilioni ya Fedha za Fidia kwa kampuni ya Mafuta ya Interpetrol kati ya mwaka 1996 na 2002 kinyume na utaratibu

The governor of Burundi's central bank has been arrested on suspicion of alleged corruption, the justice ministry said Tuesday.
Dieudonne Murengerantwari, who was sacked on Sunday, was accused of "undermining the proper functioning of the national economy, passive corruption, money laundering and misappropriation of public assets," according to a ministry statement.
It was signed by Attorney General Leonard Manirakiza, who said "this characterisation of the facts remains provisional".
The Bank of the Republic of Burundi governor is "undergoing questioning", the statement said, claiming that his rights were being respected.
Murengerantwari was appointed to the post for a five-year term in August 2022.
Since coming to power in 2020, Burundi's President Evariste Ndayishimiye has been hailed for slowly ending years of isolation under his predecessor Pierre Nkurunziza's chaotic and bloody rule.
But he has failed to improve a wretched record on human rights and the country of 12 million people remains one of the poorest on the planet.
