Trial for Ms. Lungu former first lady of Zambia commences

The trial of Zambia’s former first lady Esther Lungu, who is the wife of former President Edgar Lungu, has started in Lusaka.

She is accused of stealing three cars, stealing a property title in Lusaka, and having $400,000 (£317,000) that is suspected to be from illegal activities.

She is being tried in court with two police officers.

A person told the court that Ms Lungu took her car and house documents, as well as two cars that belonged to her daughter.

She said the police officers forced them to sign the property papers over to Ms.

Ms Lungu and her partner said they didn’t do anything wrong when they were arrested in September.
