British property developer Nicholas van Hoogstraten has been arrested in Zimbabwe, according to local media.
The state-run Herald newspaper said Mr van Hoogstraten, 63, was charged with breaking foreign exchange laws after a night raid at his Harare home.
He is accused of demanding rent in overseas currency, contrary to Zimbabwean law, the newspaper said.
A police spokesman told it that Mr van Hoogstraten, of Uckfield, East Sussex, owns about 200 properties in Zimbabwe.
