Consumer Authority opens police case against Ecoplexus

The Authority’s spokesperson, Gladys Ramadi, told Mmegi that the latest developments followed a preliminary investigation into the collapsed investment scheme.

“It should be noted that the Authority can only investigate the civil part of the scheme while Botswana Police Service will investigate the criminal elements of the scheme,” she said in an emailed response to questions this afternoon. “During the Authority’s preliminary investigations, it was observed that there are criminal elements dominating in the scheme. “The Authority has therefore registered a case with Serious Crime Squad for criminal investigations.”
