The fraud charges against Malawian Karim who died in the crash related to one of the biggest financial scandal’s in country’s history.
In just six months in 2013, the Malawian state was allegedly defrauded of more than $32million – almost 1% of the country’s GDP. That mpmey according to reports, was siphoned out of government accounts.
