Court forfeits vehicles and land linked to Dalitso Lungu

The Economic and Financial Crimes Court has ordered the forfeiture of 79 vehicles valued at about K24 million and 25 parcels of land that were claimed by Dalitso Lungu as birthday gifts from his late father, former president Edgar Lungu.

The court ruled that Mr Lungu failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove that the properties had been legitimately gifted to him.

The properties are located in several areas across the country, including Chongwe, Chibombo, Chisamba, Solwezi, Ndola, Chilanga, Petauke and Nakonde.

Following the ruling, the court directed Director of Public Prosecutions Gilbert Phiri to manage and utilise the forfeited assets in accordance with the law.

The court also ordered Mr Lungu to pay legal costs, to be taxed in default of agreement.
