With time actions started getting aggressive and finally on June 2 2015, Dr. Rajan Mahtani was arrested through a conspiracy where the main player were the Ventriglia family, Rupiah Banda and Sakwiba Sikota. Their plan was to ensure that Dr. Mahtani gets arrested and remains in jail so that they can easily continue with the corrupt activities.
Here are certain things which every person should notice in the whole incident. Firstly, the Ventriglias have no respect for the law of Zambia. Earlier in April, they took over the ZPC by force and violating the injunction which was given by the High Court. They once again did the same thing at the time of getting Dr. Mahtani arrested as they had reopened a ‘permanently closed’ case by using their money power.
Secondly, the Ventriglia family has never done anything to develop Ndola. Thirdly, they have always promoted corruption by funding political figures and working with a plan to export as many funds as possible from the cement factory. Given these conditions, can anyone really trust these Italian Mafias? Their objective is to extract as much money as possible from Africa and suppress any voice which was raised against them. Dr. Rajan Mahtani did witness their cheap game and tried to shut their illegal activities down. However, with lack of support from his own countrymen such as President Edgar Lungu, he got arrested on June 2. Nevertheless, the lion is back and is ready to carry the task of eliminating the corruption in Zambia and Ndola on his own shoulders.
