The Minister of Mines, Winston Chitando, has unveiled a plan to address gold smuggling following findings of the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2023/04/16/gold-mafia-kamlesh-pattni-claims-he-appreciates-mnangagwa-every-two-weeks/">Al Jazeera Gold Mafia</a> investigative report released one month ago.
Speaking at a Gold Mobilisation seminar in Harare, Chitando said the government is set to enhance security in gold production and sale. He said:
<blockquote>
We are going to put stern measures so as to plug leakages. So far, our teams will scrutinise output for every gold producer and all the metallurgical records and make sure that all gold produced is channelled officially.
</blockquote>
Al Jazeera’s four-part series revealed that a significant amount of gold worth billions of United States dollars is being smuggled out of Zimbabwe by organised criminals in collaboration with state officials from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, Fidelity Printers and Refinery, and airport employees.
Senior figures in government and mining, including President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Special Envoy Uebert Angel, were secretly recorded providing information on money laundering and gold smuggling.
The Fidelity Printers and Refinery has deployed 17 teams across the country to combat the problem. Several individuals, including politicians and businessmen, were implicated, but none have been arrested.
The Zimbabwean government has denied the Al Jazeera report on the “Gold Mafia” allegations. The government has rejected these allegations, describing them as baseless and false. The government has also stated that it is committed to combating illegal gold trading and smuggling.

Zimbabwe's Mines Minister Unveils Plan To Tackle Gold Smuggling

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

A former accountant of Kamlesh Pattni, a gold smuggler implicated in a scandal that robbed Kenya of 10 per cent of its GDP in the 1990s has said his former boss is duping Zimbabwe, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/3/23/gold-smuggler-pattni-kenya-zimbabwe">Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit (I-Unit)</a> can reveal.
Kamlesh Pattni was involved in the Goldenberg scam, a gold smuggling operation that robbed Kenya of $600mn and led to charges of corruption against many members of then President Daniel Arap Moi’s government.
After years of prosecution, Pattni was acquitted.
Pattni, who later became a self-proclaimed pastor and sometimes goes by the name Brother Paul, is now running a similar scheme in Zimbabwe from his base of operations in Dubai.
The revelation is part of <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/watch-episode-01-of-al-jazeeras-gold-mafia/">Al Jazeera’s Gold Mafia</a>, a four-part series investigating some of Southern Africa’s largest gold smugglers and money launderers.
Undercover Al Jazeera reporters pretending to be Chinese criminals were offered several options by Pattni to launder more than $100mn.
He would do this by effectively turning the dirty money into gold that is exported from Zimbabwe to Dubai, where Pattni owns several gold-trading companies.
Pattni exports gold bars and jewellery from Zimbabwe through his company Suzan General Trading, which gets paid an incentive by the government to sell gold overseas.
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>The plan Pattni suggested would mean the dirty money, in US dollars, would be flown to Harare, where it would be declared as the proceeds of the gold exported by Suzan General Trading.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
That money is then used to buy more gold in Zimbabwe, which would then be exported to one of Pattni’s Dubai-based companies.
Owning both the exporter in Zimbabwe and the importer in Dubai gives Pattni the opportunity to launder the money, which would then be paid into a Dubai bank account and would appear to come from legitimate gold trade. Pattni himself would take a 10 per cent commission.
Kamlesh Pattni Duping Zimbabwe
Documents obtained by Aj Jazeera suggest that Kamlesh Pattni is duping Zimbabwe. 
One of his former accountants told Al Jazeera:
<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.
</blockquote>
When Pattni’s couriers return to Zimbabwe, they declare the cash at the airport. The accountant added: 
<blockquote>
Anyone bringing currency has to declare it at the airport with the Form 47 that generally we call the blue form.
</blockquote>
One of Pattni’s former employees said they bring the cash but overstate the amount of cash they would have brought to the country. Said the anonymous former employee:
<blockquote>
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>

</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.

</blockquote>
This explains the continued shortage of foreign currency in Zimbabwe despite huge exports. The money does not enter the Zimbabwean economy.
