Money Laundering case in Botswana
Gaborone lawyer, Busang Manewe said that his clients were discharged regarding a P 2 million money laundering case as the state failed to prove the case.
The accused parties are a company Levico’s Building and Multi Services, Victor Mathumo, Daniel Ramosiane, Rodgers Lekgoba, Khumo Zaba and Taboka Zaba. They are represented by Manewe.
The accused persons allegedly have received and deposited a cheque of more than P 400 000 from proceeds of a crime. The cheque purportedly was written in favour of Jet Supermarket and deposited into a Standard Bank account held by Levico’s Building and Multi Services.
As to the 2nd account, Mathumo, Ramosiane, Lekgoba Khumo Zaba and Taboka Zaba are charged with money laundering involving P 1.8 million as they probably have known that such the money derived from illegal activities.
A ruling on the money laundering case will be given by Gaborone Chief Magistrate, Lot Moroka on May 28, 2009.
