The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has announced that corruption cases involving businessman Thom Mpinganjira and former ACB Director General Reyneck Matemba are scheduled for court hearings at the start of 2025.

Acting ACB Director Hillary Chinomba shared the update during a press briefing in Lilongwe.

Chinomba also clarified that the bureau reinstated ownership of bank accounts linked to Zuneth Sattar after investigations found no evidence directly connecting the accounts to his businesses. However, ACB revealed that proceeds from contracts Sattar obtained from the Malawian government were held in foreign accounts.

The bureau is currently awaiting authorization from the Attorney General’s office to access evidence from these foreign banks as part of its ongoing investigations.
