\nMalawi Police Accused of Helping Fraud Suspect, Abdul Karim Batatawala, Settle Family Feud<\/b> as Malawi Government Continues to Engage with Fraud Suspect Despite Corruption Charges <\/b><\/p>\n

The Malawi police are facing accusations of helping a fraud suspect, Abdul Karim Batatawala, to settle an intense family feud. This has been met with widespread criticism, as it is seen as a way of protecting its own interests, considering that Batatawala\u2019s current fraud and corruption charges relate to deals he signed with the Malawi police.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, this dispute has also revealed that the Malawi government continues to engage with Batatawala despite his facing multi-million-dollar fraud, corruption, and money laundering charges. The Malawi Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has been criticized for its apparent inaction, allowing Batatawala to seek third parties to keep dealing with government despite his corruption charges as exposed by Batatawala\u2019s son-in-law,<\/p>\n
