ZAMBIA  2/12/2004 19:51 CHILUBA�S ASSETS IN BRITAIN FROZEN AT ZAMBIAN GOVERNMENT�S REQUEST Politics/Economy, Brief The London High Court has frozen Zambia�s ex-president Frederick Chiluba�s assets in Britain, amounting to an overall sum of 20 million euro. Similar measures were taken against four other former members of Chiluba�s administration. Zambia�s present government released a statement about the Court�s decision to the press, specifying that Lusaka�s Attorney General had made a formal request to British judges as part of the corruption inquiry which is being carried out by a special governmental commission. Chiluba�s assets will be frozen until January 12th, when the London High Court will hear both the Zambian government�s and Chiluba�s versions. The ex-president is currently under trial in his country, on over 100 charges; these include stealing about 40 million dollars from the nation�s coffers, a sum which he is believed to have transferred to some foreign bank accounts belonging to Zambia�s Secret Serv ice. The first Zambian president to be democratically elected in 1981, Chiluba handed over to his successor and heir apparent Levy Mwanawasa in December 2001. Mwanawasa himself denounced the corruption scandal involving some eminent figures of the former Administration to the country�s Parliament in July 2002. The ex-president is accused, together with some of his closest collaborators, of having stolen an overall sum of 80 million dollars.[CO]
