Presidential aide to former Malawi President, Norman Chisale, appeared in handcuffs before the Lilongwe Magistrates court to answer charges of fraud and money laundering contrary to Section 319 & 331 of the penal code.
Chisale, a former soldier in the Malawi Defence Force (MDF), appeared uncomfortable and irritated in what was a very unfamiliar and embarrassing position for a man who had all the power not more than a month ago.
Norman Chisale was arrested on Tuesday following Fiscal Police investigations surrounding the $7,000,000 illegal importation of duty free cement under Peter Mutharika’s name and Tax ID.
