Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Judicial Court of Tete Province issued, a few days ago, arrest warrants against four individuals considered to be the ringleaders of illegal mining and environmental pollution in the administrative post of Mualadzi, Chifunde district.<\/p>\n

According to the judicial authorities, the court also ordered the closure of a mine there and the seizure of equipment used to commit environmental crimes such as the pollution of rivers with consequent effects on the practice of agriculture.<\/p>\n

A large-scale operation is currently underway to remove the more than 500 miners who operate in the mine in question, among whom are Mozambicans, Tanzanians, Congolese, Malawians and Zimbabweans.<\/p>\n

The court mentions drug trafficking, money laundering, illegal immigration and smuggling of weapons and explosives as being associated with the artisanal mining. In arrests sanctioned by the court last April, four individuals targeted were found in possession of two unregistered firearms.<\/p>\n
