High Court Judge Kenyata Nyirenda has dismissed an injunction and an application for judicial review that Transglobe Company obtained blocking the police from instituting criminal investigations against the company.

In May this year, Director of Public Prosecutions Steve Kayuni instructed the Malawi Police Service to commence criminal proceedings against officers and companies that were allegedly involved in the plunder of K12.8 billion at Export Development Fund.

Attorney General Thabo Chakaka Nyirenda says the application for a judicial review was wrongly granted as the matter was not about contractual obligations as claimed, but violation of the penal code.
