The National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe has issued a stern warning against money laundering, emphasizing that it is a serious crime that fuels corruption and undermines the economy. The authority highlighted various ways in which money laundering can occur, including conversion or transfer of property, concealment or disguise of illicit funds, and acquisition, use, or possession of property known to be proceeds of crime.
The NPAZ stressed that criminal liability extends beyond those who directly handle illegal assets, and individuals can still be prosecuted if they are involved in the background, including association with, conspiracy to commit, or attempts to commit money laundering offences.
According to the authority, money laundering is not a victimless act but a serious crime that connects organized crime, drug trafficking, human smuggling, and large-scale fraud. By "cleaning" criminal proceeds, offenders create the illusion of legitimacy, allowing illegal enterprises to flourish unchecked.
The NPAZ urged the public to take note of the severity of money laundering and its impact on the economy.
