The three are Vincent Mtambalika, an accountant for Action Hope, business lady Tiwonge Nsonthi, and Juston Bulaula, a former employee of the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA).<\/p>\n

The four have been charged with charges ranging from forgery, uttering false documents, obtaining money by false pretences, money laundering, and theft.<\/p>\n
