Some of those involved in money laundering have been arrested, he said, but because of the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, he was cautious in approaching the matter and did not name any suspects.<\/p>\n<p>Chapo stressed that the government will not retreat when faced by those who attempt to defy the authority of the state, including those who try to sow fear or compromise public order and security.<\/p>\n<p>He announced that the government has purchased two specialist boats for maritime surveillance. This will strengthen the government\u2019s capacity to patrol and monitor the northern Mozambican coast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith these modern vessels, we are reducing the vulnerability of the coast, which is frequently used by terrorist groups and drug traffickers\u201d, said Chapo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur determination is absolute\u201d, he promised. \u201cWherever there is crime, there will be a response. Wherever there is a threat, there will be determination. Wherever there is disorder, there will be restoration of legality\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>As for the wave of kidnappings of businesspeople that have shaken Mozambican cities since 2011, Chapo said that this year ten cases of kidnappings were notified to the authorities, and nine of the victims have returned to their families \u201cthanks to the coordination between our security forces and the communities\u201d. He did not reveal whether any ransoms were paid in these cases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
