Two Chinese nationals have been detained in the city of Nacala-Porto, Nampula province, and charged with money laundering.
According to the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office, the individuals concerned are part of a group of seven, five of whom are still at large, and are accused of being involved in money laundering and other tax crimes such as contraband and similar misdemeanours.
They are also suspected of associating to commit crimes such as the illegal export of forestry resources and illicit enrichment.
Arguing for preventive detention, the Attorney General’s Office argues that there are grounds for fearing continuing criminal activity, obstruction of justice and flight.
The defendants resided from time to time on the premises of companies in Nampula and Nacala-Porto which deal in timber and also sell electrical equipment and clothing. They also have offices in Maputo, and in Manica, Sofala and Zambézia provinces.
During the preparatory instruction of the process, searches were carried out in the offices of companies linked to the detainees, where documents such as requests for bank statements were seized. An analysis of the accuseds’ accounting procedures was also made.
