The questions read:<\/p>\n<p>Lord Oates to ask His Majesty\u2019s Government what steps they will take, if any, to address the allegations of criminal activity made against British citizens in the Al Jazeera documentary, Gold Mafia.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Oates to ask His Majesty\u2019s Government what assessment they have made of allegations of corruption and money laundering contained in the Al Jazeera documentary Gold Mafia, and what steps, if any, they will take to freeze assets held in the UK or dependent territories by those who have been (1) alleged to have engaged in, and (2) found guilty of, financial crime.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Oates to ask His Majesty\u2019s Government what steps they will take, if any, to investigate alleged discrepancies in the application that Uebert Angel, Zimbabwe\u2019s Ambassador at Large, made for British citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Oates to ask His Majesty\u2019s Government what assessment they have made of allegations against British citizens made in the Al Jazeera documentary, Gold Mafia; and what steps they will take, if any, to investigate the activities of companies whose named directors are alleged to have been involved in a conspiracy to commit financial crime.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Oates to ask His Majesty\u2019s Government what assessment they have made of whether British citizen Uebert Angel should retain diplomatic status as Zimbabwe\u2019s Ambassador at Large.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2022, Lord Oates criticised the Zimbabwean government for putting the Nyatsime 16 in leg irons, saying it damaged the country\u2019s reputation around the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
