The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has tasked its Financial Intelligence Unit to unfreeze accounts of all persons who were implicated in the Al Jazeera “Gold Mafia” series.
Director-General FIU Oliver Chiperesa in a communique dispatched Monday evening directed financial institutions to unlock assets of the individuals who were purported to have played a key role that led to a March 31, 2023, directive to have their assets frozen.
Headlined “Update on the actions taken by the Financial Intelligence Unit in response to the Al Jazeera “Gold Mafia’ documentary series,” the press release said the Unit had not been able to identify transactions or assets linked to money laundering or financial crime related to the documentary.
Chiperesa said the decision was without prejudice and any law enforcement agencies that wish to pursue the matter were free to do so.
“The FIU, if requested, stands ready and is indeed mandated to cooperate with any international investigations against any of the persons or entities mentioned in the documentary,” he said.
