Zambia’s High Court has ordered the seizure of assets worth more than 1.3 million US Dollars from Dalitso Lungu, the son of former President Edgar Lungu.
The forfeiture order covers 79 vehicles and 23 pieces of land and real estate, including a shopping mall, petrol station, “luxury apartments and an executive residence” in the capital, Lusaka.
