Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>More than 300,000 meticais in counterfeit banknotes seized by Gurue\u0301 District Attorney\u2019s Office in Zambezia province have disappeared from the institution. Two citizens are being held in connection with the case, one a member of the judicial body and the other the alleged coordinator of the theft.<\/p>\n

The counterfeit banknotes had been in the possession of the District Attorney\u2019s Office since last year in the context of investigations into the counterfeiting of the national currency.<\/p>\n

The Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office is said to have made several purchases in the local market using the counterfeit banknotes, Zambezia police spokesman Sidney Lonzo told Radio Mozambique.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis amount was withheld by the police, and the case forwarded to the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office,\u201d Lonzo said. \u201cOne of the officials responsible for guarding the amount, in the dead of night, together with his friend, using keys, went to the Gurue\u0301 District Attorney\u2019s Office. It turns out that they began to make incidental purchases in the district\u2019s markets and bars, which aroused suspicion. When screening was carried out, it was noticed that they were paying using the counterfeit notes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Another case reported by Lonzo at his press briefing involved the detention of an employee who vandalised an automatic teller machine (ATM) in Quelimane. The detainee said that the ATM machine malfunctioned: If he took out his money, it would not let him retrieve his card, and vice versa, so he forced the ATM to surrender his card using a screwdriver.<\/p>\n

The police said the man already had a criminal record, and had been in frequent contact with the police, \u201cbecause he [routinely] demonstrates aggression towards family members\u201d.<\/p>\n
