Recovers N6.5b, $19.2m
The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, has charged 368 cases to court and recorded 80
convictions at the end of August, 2013. Within the same period, the Commission
recorded the following recoveries: N6,583,108,350 ; $19,251,519; 20,520 Euros and 19,000
Pounds Sterling.
Beyond the
recoveries, EFCC Intensified the prosecution
of politically exposed persons, failed bank executives, captains of industries,
beneficiaries of fraudulent oil subsidy payments and senior civil servants
involved in pension fraud.
A number of cases for which
investigations have been concluded, would be charged to courts across the zones
where the Commission maintains offices as soon as the courts resume from
recess.
Meanwhile, the Commission
deplores attempts by mischievous elements to distract it by imputing political
motives to some of its investigations. The Commission will not be cowed by such
insinuations which are clearly unfounded.
Nigerians can be assured
that only those who run foul of the law have reason to entertain fear of the
EFCC.
