Zambia, 1985 to 2026: a peaceful copper republic whose largest crimes were committed from office. An intelligence service's London account moved about fifty-two million dollars out of the finance ministry; an English court found a former president liable, a Lusaka magistrate acquitted him, and the shoes his Geneva tailor made were counted in evidence. Then came a pharmacy's eighteen-million-dollar health-kit contract, diverted cash transfers for the poorest, forty-eight houses nobody owned, a minister's helicopters, a scam call center and a jet full of fake gold. Every government prosecuted the last; some went to prison, some walked free, one president died uncharged. Covers Frederick Chiluba and the Zamtrop account, Xavier Chungu and Access Financial Services, Joseph Malanji and his helicopters, and Faith Musonda and the Anti-Corruption Commission.
