Gold: Zimbabwe
Asked by: Lord Oates (Liberal Democrat - Life peer) Tuesday 30th June 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government whether the National Crime Agency’s International Corruption Unit investigated the allegations of corruption and the illicit gold trade in Zimbabwe involving British citizens as reported in the Al Jazeera documentary Gold Mafia; and whether any prosecutions have resulted from this. Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington While we cannot comment on specific law enforcement investigations, the Government treats all allegations of international corruption, money laundering and illicit gold trading with the utmost seriousness. The National Crime Agency's International Corruption Unit, funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, investigates international bribery, corruption and related money‑laundering offences, including where there is a nexus involving UK nationals or financial systems. The Illicit Finance Summit, to be hosted by the UK in December, will strengthen international, public-private cooperation to tackle illicit gold. |
