As per the sources, the amount of money involved in these money laundering activities goes well beyond USD 1 billion dollars. At the same time, various other law firms, lawyers, legal counsellors, government contractors, government officials and even some ex-ministers have been suspected of laundering money. Some of the top names in the list included advocates from Makebi Zulu and Shamwana & Company and owner of Central Chambers, Sakwiba Sikota. Sikota is well known for his notorious relationship with the Ventriglias. The Ventriglias are also notorious for their unethical practices, illegal activities as well as getting away with law by finding its various loopholes. The Ventriglias have established a knack for creating troubles for honest and straightforward businesses, notably Dr. Rajan Mahtani. Their fight for the Zambezi Portland Cement is national news and those following the news know for a fact that Dr. Mahtani is the real owner of the Factory.
Sakwiba Sikota’s involvement clearly defines the type of individuals who have been named in the list. Majority of these individuals are just misusing their power and position for building their illegal empires. The investigation also suggested that majority of these laundered money were used for funding corrupt campaigns and programs and for other illegal activities across the nation.
