Malawi: Ex-Leader Arrested on Corruption Charges
"Former President Bakili Muluzi was arrested on charges that he had diverted to his personal bank account $12 million in aid donated by foreign governments. Mr. Muluzi, who was head of state from 1994 to 2004, is the highest official to figure in an antigraft campaign by the current president, Bingu wa Mutharika, his successor and now estranged protégé. Gustave Kaliwo, the head of the government’s Anti-Corruption Bureau, said two of the counts related to $50,000 the government sent to its embassy in Tanzania, which Mr. Muluzi is accused of pocketing when he visited the country. Mr. Muluzi remains popular and is chairman of the opposition party. He was granted bail until his trial “starts in due course,” Mr. Kaliwo said."
