Mozambique’s Minister of the Interior, Paulo Chachine, said yesterday that a team from Interpol is in the country to carry out a “simultaneous operation” with local forces aimed at combating organised crime.

“Indeed, there is currently an operation under way in Mozambique that involves Interpol. It is what we call a ‘simultaneous operation’,” said Chachine, responding to journalists’ questions about reports of the presence in the country of the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol).

The minister explained that the operation under way in Mozambique is taking place simultaneously in other African countries — namely South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and the Kingdom of Eswatini — under the coordination of Interpol’s offices in Harare, Zimbabwe, while admitting that it may also be taking place in other countries coordinated from the Kenya office.

“Therefore, it is a normal operation, and I believe there will be results, but such results can only be assessed at the end. At this stage, work is still in progress,” the minister stressed.

Chachine said the ongoing operation aims to combat organised crime, including human trafficking, drug trafficking, and illegal migration.
