A few days ago, Cables revealed that Shabir Raidhan and his wife, Amina, were involved in a high-profile money laundering scheme.
According to the cables investigations, more than MK5 billion was being laundered in a single day.
Information exclusively available to Cables indicates that Raidhan, a British national, has registered a company in the United Kingdom named SAM Holdings Leicester Limited on 22 July 2025 indexed as 16599499. Only cables can reveal .
The company was registered together with his daughter, Ms. Maleeha Shabir born in 2007.
Raidhan was arrested a few weeks ago, but his arrest was allegedly kept secret. He was also reportedly released from custody without public disclosure.
Several high-profile politicians and business figures are said to be connected to the alleged scheme.
The case, which is before the Financial Crimes Court, has remained stagnant for months.
One day, Malawians may wake up to the realization that vast sums of public wealth have disappeared while those allegedly responsible were allowed to walk free.
