HIGH-VALUE properties and colossal amounts of money have been forfeited to the State through consent judgements while others via the non-conviction based forfeiture, the National Prosecution Authority (NPA) has announced.

The NPA has announced that in its crusade against economic and financial crimes, the authority had obtained a consent judgement which has since led to the forfeiture to the State of high-value flats in Lusaka’s Jesmondine with an estimated value of K6 million.

Chali Mbewe-Hambayi, the NPA public relations officer said in a statement yesterday that the authority had scored three landmark victories in the fight against economic and financial crimes by facilitating the forfeiture to the State high-priced properties and colossal amounts of money.

Ms Mbewe-Hambayi said in the first case, the NPA had, after a spirited fight successfully obtained a consent judgement that led to the forfeiture of high-value flats in Jesmondine, which had been identified as tainted property and proceeds of crime. “These properties are estimated to be worth well over K6 million and encompass seven fully furnished stand-alone double-storey flats with a communal swimming pool. This forfeiture represents a substantial leap forward in combating illicit financial activities. It serves as a compelling example of the meticulous asset recovery efforts undertaken by the National Prosecution Authority in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC),” Ms Mbewe-Hambayi said.

She also announced that the NPA had seized and forfeited to the State about K36.5 million belonging to a Nigerian National in the name of Jeffrey Nnaoma Michaels, which amount of money was being held in various bank accounts.

She strated that the money had been identified as tainted property and proceeds of crime and that the money was from the accounts belonging to two companies in the name of Avalon Logistics Limited and Absolute Logistics Limited.

“The said company bank accounts had large value transactions and complicated transfers that were not commensurate to the nature of the registered business. The irregular transactions were flagged in the banking system,” Ms Mbewe-Hambayi said.

She further revealed that using the non-conviction based forfeiture application, the NPA seized and forfeited to the State four Toyota Land Cruiser motor vehicles suspected to be proceeds of crime belonging to The Big Tree Investment Limited.

…as soccer fans strongman Makembo tips the boys to aim for another win

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

THE Zambia National soccer team has set base in Marrakech, Morocco ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Group E FIFA World Cup qualifier against Niger.

The Chipolopolo boys who arrived in Marrakech in the early hours of yesterday will face Niger at the Grand Stade Marrakech in a match scheduled to kick off at 21:00 hours local time and 22:00 hours Central African Time.

After Last Friday’s impressive 4-2 win over Congo Brazzaville in Ndola, the Avram Grant tutored Chipolopolo boys will seek a consecutive win as they aim to break the jinx of failing to qualify for the World Cup.

Meanwhile Zambia Sports Fans Association patron Peter Makembo has urged the Chipolopolo boys to fight for nothing but a win to maintain top spot in Group E.

Makembo said just like Congo Brazzaville, Niger are a beatable side that should not give the Chipolopolo boys a tough time.

“We know the match against Niger is going to be tough because they will want to bounce back from their defeat to Mozambique but we believe in the boys. For now, we can only encourage them to stay focused after starting the qualifiers with a win,” Makembo said.

“We need to maintain the same winning mentality and as we face Niger on Tuesday, the boys should fight for nothing but a win. We need to end this round of qualifiers on top of Group E,” Makembo said.

The fans strongman reaffirmed the fans commitment to continue cheering the boys to inspire them to grind the needed results.

“We would have loved to travel with the team to Morocco but couldn’t due to luck of resources but that doesn’t mean that we have given up. We are still appealing to corporates to come on board because from Lusaka to Marrakech, it is just a seven hours flight but to the boys let them not get discouraged because if we wont make it we will still be cheering and praying that they come back safe with the best results,” he said.

Makembo also appealed to the Zambian community in Marrakech to troop to the Grand Stade Marrakech to give the boys the extra push needed to get a win away from home.
