Een Zambiaans plundernetwerk met Belgische draadjes

LUSAKA - Elections will be held in Zambia on 28 September 2006. President Mwanawasa hopes that voters will reward his efforts to combat corruption, but the likelihood of this is low. This is because Mwanawasa himself appears to have anything but clean hands. Meanwhile, Zambia and the rest of the world are still far from resolving the enormous looting network of former president Frederick Chiluba.

Belgium regularly features in investigations into this corruption network. Tineke Van der Eecken investigated the entire Matrix of Plunder, travelling to Zambia and London, where a trial is currently taking place, as well as Bruges and Brussels.
