The Mozambican Association of Judges (AMJ) requested the Public Prosecutor's Office to investigate alleged salary irregularities and suspicions of crimes involving finance and public administration officials. The request includes investigations for abuse of office, embezzlement, electronic fraud and corruption.
The AMJ made this decision to request the intervention of the Public Prosecutor's Office to clarify the salary irregularities that reportedly occurred. No further details were specified about the number of people involved or the amounts involved.
The Public Prosecutor's Office is now responsible for investigating these suspicions of crimes involving the Mozambican public administration. The judicial authorities will determine whether crimes were effectively committed and identify those responsible.
This request from the association of judges comes in a context of concern about the integrity of public resource management in Mozambique. The AMJ thus demonstrates its commitment to transparency and compliance with the law in public service.
