The Drug Enforcement Commission-DEC- has arrested former State House Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Musonda Chilubanama for money laundering-related offences involving theft of a motor vehicle.
DEC Public Relations Officer Mwenge Mulenga says particulars of the offence are that Mr. Chilubanama, while acting together with other persons unknown, on dates unknown but between 1st July 2016 and 31st December 2021 in Lusaka district of the Lusaka Province of the Republic of Zambia, did obtain a Toyota Land Cruiser PRADO without lawful authority.
Mr. Mulenga says the suspect further committed money laundering offences by concealing the true nature and ownership of the proceeds of the sale of the said motor vehicle.
He says Mr. Chilubanama’s arrest comes after a succession of comparable investigations undertaken by the commission, focusing on the misappropriation of public resources in violation of section 7 of the prohibition and prevention of money laundering act of the laws of Zambian.
