HOT ON THE TRAIL: Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) investigator Oberty Inambao has said that the ACC on Monday received a tip-off regarding the whereabouts of Simaneka Victor Malima, an accused person in the Namcor fraud and corruption trial. Malima is alleged to have fled the country after being implicated in money laundering and fraud charges, after his entity, Eco Trading, received over N$9 million from the alleged proceeds of crime.
Enercon Namibia Pty Ltd is accused of defrauding the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (Namcor) after it fraudulently sold nine service stations to Namcor, which had already been encumbered in a nine-year agreement with MOD and Enercon. From the N$53 million received by Enercon, a total of N$9.5 million was sent to Malima’s entity.
“As we speak, we received information regarding the applicant and his involvement with Mr. Simaneka. It is a lead that we are still trying to follow up. Without divulging a lot of information, this information was received on Monday, when a source visited the ACC regarding the whereabouts of Mr. Simaneka and the actions that transpired shortly before Mr. Nandago was arrested,” Inambao said.
