Kenyan gold dealer Kamlesh Pattni claims he pays President Emmerson Mnangagwa every two weeks to enable him to continue carrying out his gold and money laundering operations in Zimbabwe.
Pattni (aka Brother Paul), made the claims to undercover Al Jazeera reporters who posed as Chinese gangsters who wanted his services to launder as much as US$1.2 billion from Hong Kong.
This was revealed in the fourth and final installment of the Al Jazeera documentary, “Gold Mafia” titled “Have The King With You” that was premiered on Friday, 14 April 2023.
Pattni told the undercover reporters that he had the President’s number and regularly chats with him on WhatsApp. He was filmed saying:
<blockquote>
This is his number. I call him Tembo…I always give him how much we have done… Yeah, he has to be informed. I was just writing him a message here.
</blockquote>
Pattni then showed the reporters WhatsApp messages he allegedly exchanged with the president.
One of the undercover reporters asked Pattnin: “This is the President’s number. Direct to the President?” In response, Pattni said: “Yes directly… I have to inform him.”
Pattni also claimed he makes payments to Mnangagwa every two weeks through his young brother. He said:
<blockquote>
This is like the norm of life. The incentives, the fees… the appreciation.
Every two weeks, Swetang, my brother is there. Every fortnight, he is there at the State House. We always contribute our appreciation.
</blockquote>
One of the undercover reporters then asked Pattni; “To Mnangagwa?” In response, Pattni said:
<blockquote>
To the King himself… When you work, you must always have the king with you. The President.
</blockquote>
In the first episode of Gold Mafia, a former accountant of Kamlesh Pattni said that his former boss is duping Zimbabwean authorities. He said:
<blockquote>
He exports jewellery and gold bars to Dubai and the rest of the world. In exchange, he has to bring foreign currency to Zimbabwe. On paper, he is bringing money to Zimbabwe.
Sometimes they’re bringing some cash from there and then they declare it. But the amount is less.
They’re not declaring the actual amounts. They bring 50 000, sometimes 100 000 but they declare it as one million or two million.
</blockquote>
In one blue form obtained by Al Jazeera, Pattni states that he brought US$1 219 723.20 from selling jewellery in Dubai.
But Pattni does not bring US$1 219 723.20 to Zimbabwe. His former accountant said:
<blockquote>
They give bribes to the customs guys there. They tell them to stamp their blue form, and put the amount they are bringing as $1.2 million but actually, he didn’t bring that $1.2 million amount.
</blockquote>
A document obtained by Al Jazeera suggests that instead of US$1 219 723.20, Pattni brought US$99 850.
He leaves the bulk of the money he got from selling Jewellery in Dubai.
But that affects his ability to buy gold in Zimbabwe. He does not have US$1.2 million as declared. His former accountant says he would go on the market.
He collects United States dollars from his clients in Zimbabwe and buys gold which he exports as before. He collects his 18% percent commission from the Zimbabwean government. He uses it to pay his clients in Dubai. The accountant added:
<blockquote>
With gold exports, Kamlesh Pattni is pretending that he is helping the country with foreign reserves. He is not bringing any foreign currency inside the country.
He is taking all foreign reserves outside the country. He’s just making a fool of the people around him, the government officials.
</blockquote>
The Gold Mafia documentary exposed an alleged series of gold smuggling gangs in Southern Africa that help criminals launder hundreds of millions of dollars.
The gang members get rich while plundering their nations and keeping millions in abject poverty.
They use gold to turn dirty cash into clean, seemingly legitimate money for those with large amounts of unaccounted wealth.
The criminals do so by using a complex web of companies, counterfeit identities and fake documents.

Gold Mafia: Kamlesh Pattni Claims He "Appreciates" Mnangagwa Every Two Weeks

In Part 3 of the Gold Mafia Al Jazeera documentary titled “El Dorado”, undercover reporters visit tour Dubai where they uncover how gold from Zimbabwe is used to launder vast sums of money by one of Africa’s self-confessed money launderers, Kamlesh Pattni.
According to Al Jazeera, Pattni exports gold from Zimbabwe through his company Suzan General Trading (Pvt) Ltd.
The Zimbabwean government pays him an incentive 18% export incentive to sell the gold overseas.
In the episode, Pattni is seen talking with Al Jazeera journalist “Mr. Stanley” who posed as a Chinese gangster who wanted his US$100 million dirty cash cleaned.
Pattni’s companies in Dubai like Golden Luxury Trading and Fiza Gold buy the gold from companies in Zimbabwe.
He owns both the importer and the exporter to facilitate money laundering. He said Zimbabwean gold is purified in Dubai.
Pattni receives dirty money plus a 10 percent commission. He then sells the gold he imports from Zimbabwe and pays the proceeds into a Dubai bank account set up for Mr. Stanley.
The money, in the form of USD cash, is collected from Hong Kong and brought to Dubai. From Dubai, the money is taken to Harare.
In Harare, the money will be declared as the proceeds of gold exported by Pattni’s company Suzan General Trading (Pvt) Ltd.
The money will be declared clean in Zimbabwe and Mr. Stanley will have clean money in a Dubai bank account.
The gold from Zimbabwe is sent to a Dubai refinery to be melted down again. The bars will be stamped with the refiner’s hallmark and the gold becomes a product of Dubai.
This makes the gold easier to sell because it will no longer be associated with Zimbabwe and its sanctioned leaders.
<a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/3/23/gold-mafia-godmen-conmen-president-niece">According to Al Jazeera</a>, the Kenyan-born Kamlesh Pattni knows better than anyone how to smuggle gold worth millions of dollars — and get away with it.
Pattni has now moved his operations to Dubai and is smuggling gold from all over Africa, mostly from Zimbabwe.
When confronted with the evidence gathered against him as a part of the Al Jazeera investigation, Pattni denied involvement in any kind of money laundering or sanctions busting or offering to deal with funds he knew originated from illegal sources.
He said that when he met with the Al Jazeera undercover team, he thought he was meeting with an investor who wanted to sell a stake in hotel businesses and “to divest of a portfolio in China into gold buying and mining in Zimbabwe”.
