Zimbabwe on Tuesday said it will investigate allegations of gold smuggling and money laundering against some people linked to the country’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa, which were raised in a documentary produced by Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera.
The ‘Gold Mafia’, a four-part documentary that first aired early this month, alleges that syndicates with close links to government institutions and officials use Zimbabwe’s gold for money laundering.
