The Ventriglia family (Italian Mafias) wouldn’t have imagined that their plan to conquer the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory would go horribly wrong when they decided to play around the African Law. In their quest to remove Finsbury Investment from the management of the factory, they ignored the number of consequences which could arise from their actions.

The first violation took place on April 7 2015 when the bandit goons helped the Ventriglia family to take over the ZPC by force. During that time, an official had presented the injunction which was obtained from the Lusaka High Court. However, the same was torn into pieces and then dismissed without any consideration. The second violation took place on June 2 2015 when the Ventriglia family managed to pass an order from the DPP and got Dr. Rajan Mahtani arrested on ground of signature forgery. It was the same case which the Attorney-General had permanently closed in 2012.

The Ventriglia family did plan their public relations campaign well by hiring news portals and lawyers who would continue to defend their cause and eliminate their enemies. Zambia Reports along with lawyer Sakwiba Sikota have managed to play around with the truth and have fabricated the stories according to their requirement. Sadly, they failed to realize that truth and justice prevails over all.

The result of their actions is that their appeal has been rejected on grounds of being merit-less and Dr. Mahtani has a judicial review with him. Time and over again, it has been proved that the truth cannot be concealed forever. The Ventriglia did gain attention with the help of media for some time, but now they are facing a certain defeat in the days to come. It would be interesting to find what the outcome of judicial review is in the days to come.
