Here is all you need to know about the famous Gold Mafia and how they smuggle gold from Zimbabwe
Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit conducted a four-part investigation that uncovered a network of gold smuggling gangs operating in Southern Africa. These gangs assist criminals in laundering hundreds of millions of dollars, enriching themselves while exploiting their countries.
The investigation, known as the Gold Mafia, demonstrates how gold is an effective means for those with large amounts of unaccounted wealth to convert their dirty cash into clean, seemingly legitimate money. This is accomplished through a sophisticated network of companies, fake identities and fraudulent documents.
The investigation also revealed the involvement of high-ranking officials from Zimbabwe in smuggling and money laundering activities. These activities help the country circumvent the severe impact of Western sanctions. The investigation also highlights the global nature of these crimes. Gold smuggled from one country can end up as cash deposited in offshore accounts of shell companies halfway around the world.
