The Drug Enforcement Commission through its Anti-Money Laundering Investigations Unit has arrested two former MTN employees of Lusaka for money laundering activities involving K1.3 million.

DEC Spokesperson Theresa Katongo says Shadreck Lungu, 40, of Plot No. 12865 in Lusaka’s 6 miles area has been arrested and jointly charged with Zachariah Zulu, 43, residing at Plot No. 1091, Salama Park in Lusaka for theft by servant, fraudulent false accounting and money laundering contrary to the laws of Zambia.

Particulars of the offence are that the duo whilst acting together with other persons unknown on dates unknown but between 1st January, 2012 and 31st December, 2012 did steal K1.3 billion (unrebased) from their employer MTN Zambia by diverting cheque payments made by a named dealer, a client of MTN and crediting two accounts of other MTN distributors purporting to be buying stock on behalf of the named dealer when in fact not.

Ms Katongo tells QFM News in a statement that the suspects then collected the said stock from MTN warehouse for their benefit thereby permanently depriving their employer of the proceeds of sale.

She adds that the duo further did engage directly or indirectly in business transactions involving proceeds of crime in which one residential property has been seized by the Commission.

The suspects are currently on Police bond and will appear in court soon.

And in a related but separate incidence, the Commission has arrested David Chiyesu, 49, a businessman residing at Plot No. 37004, Chilenje South in Lusaka for forgery, uttering of false documents and obtaining money by false pretences contrary to the laws of Zambia.
Particulars of the offence are that David Chiyesu, purporting to be a Commissioner of Oaths, jointly and whilst acting together with George Banda, Richard Chisenga and other persons unknown on 1st February, 2014 and 21st August, 2014 did forge a letter of transfer of funds amounting to K38, 000 from Nemerit Company account to that of George Banda’s account domiciled at a named international bank where the funds were withdrawn upon uttering the said transfer instruction at another named bank purporting that the suspects had rendered a service to Nemerit Company when in fact not.

The suspect is currently on Police bond and will appear in court on 17th September, 2014.

  4. Occasionally one partner in a permanent relationship may develop apparent symptoms of herpes the very first time.

  5. You will also need to be careful with citrus fruit because they have a lot of citric acid in them.
    The quality of juice obtained from an orange juice extractor is not the same as what
    is mass-produced and sold in stores. Manual press juice extractors are
    quite difficult to operate.

  6. The Breville BJE510XL is chiefly made of three
    main pieces that can be put together with remarkably little effort.
    These fruits cannot be juiced in the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer Pro.
    We found this space age juicer could swallow whole fruit or vegetables in an instant and produce great tasting juice for the family to enjoy every time we tried it.

  7. As I crossed the street, I saw a man parked by the donation center taking
    a juicer out of his car. The quality of juice obtained from an orange juice extractor is not the
    same as what is mass-produced and sold in stores. Most
    lower- and medium-end juicers on the market use the centrifugal method.

  8. Now this is Money laundering not ma cases yamene tima nvela.. this is a case… 1.3Billion is BEEG!
