Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican Police (PRM) arrested on Tuesday in Laulane neighbourhood, on the outskirts of Maputo city, an individual in possession of fake South African rand banknotes.<\/p>\n

The forged notes had a face value of 1,400 rands (about 74 US dollars at the current exchange rate).<\/p>\n

According to PRM spokesperson, Marta Pereira, there is a need to pay attention during the buying or selling of any currency in Maputo, since anyone found in possession of such fake notes is liable to arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis individual has been involved in this type of case for three years. Right now, work is being carried out to seize the person responsible for printing the notes and ascertain if the machine used is in Mozambique or in South Africa\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

The detainee, Pereira said, was caught in Laulane market in possession of 50 notes of 100 Rands.<\/p>\n

When questioned about the origin of the notes, he said that \u201cthey belong to an uncle of my neighbour, who gave it to me to exchange in various market places. I accepted the job because I needed money urgently and I started exchanging these notes last Wednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n
