U.S. Blacklists Namibian Former Ministers over Corruption Allegations of Accepting Bribes in a Sprawling Fisheries Scandal
From UPI –
Amid President Joe Biden‘s push to clamp down on corruption worldwide, his administration blacklisted two former Namibian government officials over allegations of accepting bribes in a sprawling fisheries scandal brought to light by Wikileaks.
The State Department announced in a statement Tuesday that Bernhard Easu, a former fisheries and marine resources minister, and Sakeus Shanghala, a former minister of justice, were being barred from entry to the United States over their involvement in “corrupt acts that undermined rule of law and the Namibian public’s faith in their government’s democratic institutions and public processes.”
