FIC revealed a list of names that were involved in money laundering scheme. This list comprised of high-profile lawyers, legal counselors, and owners of firms, government contractors and even ministers. This list is not conclusive yet and as per the investigators, the numbers could increase in future as the investigation deepens.
In one of its most surprising as well as shocking revelations, the FIC released a list of individuals suspected under a mass money laundering act. This list comprises of one of the most prominent and known lawyers from Zambia. FIC is ‘Financial Intelligence Centre’, a noted legal and intelligence body of the Zambian government looking into illegal activities.
