Three Angolans who were charged late last year with money-laundering after they were found with 2 million dollars have pleaded not guilty to the charges in the Otjiwarongo Magistrate’s Court. The accused Abilio Miguel, Francisco Sossingo and Joaquim Antonio chose to remain silent on the advice of their lawyer, Sisa Namandje. The case was then postponed to the eighth November, for the Prosecutor-General’s decision on the matter. The trio was found in possession of bank notes comprising 200 and 100 Namibia dollar bills at the Otavi-Otjiwarongo road block in September 2015. They were arrested after failing to provide a satisfactory explanation to questions about where they had found the money. The three face charges of contravening Sections of the 2004 Prevention of Organised Crime Act, dealing with money-laundering and acquisition of proceeds of unlawful activities.
