今天挂在津巴布韦的令人不安的讽刺

南非金融情报中心（FIC）采取了决定性的步骤来调查金融交易的模糊网络

A disturbing irony hangs over Zimbabwe today. While South Africa’s Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) has taken decisive steps to investigate the murky web of financial transactions linked to Zimbabwe’s 2023 elections—revealing the alleged looting of over R800 million by controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo—the Zimbabwean government has opted for shameful silence.

今天，令人不安的讽刺悬在津巴布韦上。南非金融情报中心（FIC）采取了决定性的步骤，调查了与津巴布韦2023年选举有关的模糊网络的金融交易网络 - 揭示了有争议的商人Wicknell Chivayo（Zimbabwean Compairment）抢劫了超过8亿兰特的抢劫，Zimbabwean政府选择了可耻的寂静。

Not even a token expression of concern. Not a single pledge to investigate. No press statement from the presidency, nor from the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC), nor from the Ministry of Finance—whose own transfers triggered this scandal.

甚至都没有关注的象征表达。没有一个调查的保证。没有总统的新闻声明，也没有来自津巴布韦反腐败委员会（ZACC）的新闻声明，也没有财政部的新闻声明，也没有自己的转会引发了这一丑闻。

One would be forgiven for thinking this scandal involved some faraway country, and not the plunder of taxpayer money in Harare. Yet it is South Africa’s authorities—namely the FIC, the Reserve Bank of South Africa, and the South African Revenue Service—who are ringing the alarm bells and pursuing criminal probes into the R1.1 billion transferred from the Treasury to the Johannesburg-based printing company Ren-Form CC, most of which swiftly flowed into Chivayo’s business and personal accounts.

人们认为这一丑闻涉及一个遥远的国家，而不是在哈拉雷（Harare）掠夺纳税人的钱。然而，南非的当局（即南非的储备银行和南非税务局）正在敲响警钟，并追求犯罪调查的11亿兰特，从财政部转移到了约翰内斯堡的1亿兰特，迅速流入了基于约翰内斯堡的印刷公司Ren-Form CC，其中大部分迅速流入了Chivayo的业务和个人业务和个人帐户。

This tale of alleged corruption, meticulously documented by the FIC and leaked to the Sunday Mail, began in April 2023 with a series of tranches totaling R1.1 billion paid by the Ministry of Finance to Ren-Form CC for the supply of electoral materials.

这个涉嫌腐败的故事是由FIC仔细记录并泄露给《星期日邮报》的故事，始于2023年4月，一系列由财政部为Ren-Form CC支付的总计11亿兰特，以提供选举材料的供应。

The transactions were clocked on May 18, 2024 by the FIC as having "high risk" due to the speed at which funds moved, the stated purposes that weren’t aligning with activity, and the bulk transactions.

交易于2024年5月18日被FIC计时，因为由于资金移动的速度，与活动不符的陈述目的以及批量交易的速度，具有“高风险”。

Of that amount, more than R800 million was quickly funnelled to companies owned by Chivayo—primarily Intratrek and Dolintel Trading. Another R156 million was paid directly to Chivayo’s Edenbreeze, allegedly for architectural and engineering services.

在这一数量中，超过8亿兰特的公司很快就向Chivayo拥有的公司（主要是Intratrek and Dolintel Trading）汇入了。另外1.56亿兰特直接支付给了Chivayo的Edenbreeze，据称是为建筑和工程服务提供的。

However, the apex court judge flagged these transactions as having "no economic, rational or legal justification.”

但是，最高法院法官将这些交易标记为“没有经济，理性或法律依据”。

The apex court judge pointed out that the transactions were linked to several legal and economic anomalies, rendering them highly suspicious.

最高法院法官指出，交易与几个法律和经济异常有关，使它们高度可疑。
