Acting prosecutor general Martha Imalwa has secured a property preservation order freezing N$3.5 million held in two bank accounts belonging to Burundian national Asani Niyonzima (26).
Imalwa says the money is linked to drug dealing, money laundering and tax evasion.
The order was obtained following an investigation that began with Niyonzima’s arrest in a cocaine sting in Klein Windhoek.
Imalwa says Niyonzima was arrested on 14 January alongside a Tanzanian national when officers attached to the police’s drug unit, acting on a tip-off, intercepted the men at a parking lot in Klein Windhoek.
Niyonzima was later released on bail in an amount of N$10 000.
