Former deputy inspector general of police Charity Katanga will for the next three years be a penitentiary resident albeit pending application.
Katanga has today been handed a three-year simple imprisonment jail term by the Lusaka Magistrate Court for possession of property suspected to be proceeds of crime.
Lusaka Chief Resident magistrate Davies Chibwili today found Katanga guilty of possession of 10 Higer buses worth K26 million suspected of being proceeds of crime.
The court found that the convict failed to prove that the buses in question were bought using legitimate sources.
Some family members could not hold their back tears as in Iron Lady fashion Katanga made her way out of the court towards a Kasalanga truck enroute to the correctional facility.
None of the parties so far; Katanga and the State have appealed the sentence.
