Mozambique: Senior Malawian Officials Arrested Over Fraudulent Transfer of Over 400,000 Dollars to Mozambique
[AIM] Maputo -- The Malawian Police Service (MPS) has arrested two senior officials from the National Oil Company of Malawi (NOCMA) over the alleged fraudulent transfer of over 400,000 US dollars to Mozambique, which was aimed at covering loading and clearing charges for fuel shipments at the central port of Beira and northern port of Nacala.
The Malawian Police Service has apprehended two high-ranking executives from the National Oil Company of Malawi for allegedly transferring over 400,000 US dollars fraudulently. According to Deputy National Public Relations Officer Alfred Chimthere, the suspects are 54-year-old Miklas Reuben and 49-year-old Thokozani Jacob Sesani, both key figures within NOCMA's leadership.
The duo is suspected of negligence in handling public funds, misuse of public office, and other related offenses. The stolen money was reportedly transferred to an account belonging to Moniray Mozhandlings Lda to cover loading and clearing charges for fuel shipments at Mozambique's central port of Beira and northern port of Nacala.
Police are building their case and the suspects are set to appear in court soon. The investigation into this fraud case is ongoing, with the possibility of more arrests as investigators strive to uncover the full extent of the deceit.
