It can be easily seen that the only reason the Ventriglias have been able to avoid law is by manipulating the already weak government of Zambia. The case of Portland Cement Zambia has been running for more than ten years and even with sufficient evidence share by Dr. Rajan Mahtani’s lawyers, the court has not been able to provide any sound judgment. It has been observed that at several occasions, the Ventriglias were either not present during the court hearing or conveniently made excuses for not presenting any real evidence. On other occasions, the judge got changed or transferred, further delaying the process of hearing. It has also been seen that during numerous occasions, the Ventriglias have tried to discredit Dr. Mahtani with the hope of making his evidences invalid, but failed. Dr. Rajan Mahtani, on the other hand, has kept submitting all necessary documents and evidences as requested by the judge. Some of these were signed shareholder’s agreement, independent auditor’s report and financial exhibits.
As per the new announcement made by the judge handling this case now, the hearing has been closed. This means the evidence submitted by both ends with be considered final and based on this, final judgement will be made.
