Mr Liato buried the 2.1 billion Kwacha in two steel trunks
under a thick layer of concrete slab in a highly fortified and electronically
fitted structure at his farm in Mumbwa..........Sounds weird right?
FORMER Labour and Social Security
minister, Austin Liato, has been sentenced to two years imprisonment with hard
labour over the K2.1 billion dug out at his farm in Mwembeshi.
Liato, who was facing a charge of
possessing property suspected to be proceeds of crime, also had his K2.1
billion and the farm forfeited to the State.
Liato has been convicted of one
count of being in possession of property suspected to have been proceeds of
crime contrary to Section 71 (1) of the Forfeiture of Proceeds of Crime Act
Number 19 of 2010 of the Laws of Zambia.
Interesting!
