From Gold Mafia Scandal to Ambassador: Uebert Angel Becomes African Union’s Pan African Parliament Ambassador

Zimbabwe’s Special Envoy and Ambassador-At-Large, Uebert Angel, has been appointed as the African Union’s Pan African Parliament Ambassador for Interfaith Dialogue and Humanitarian Affairs. This appointment comes after Angel was cleared of all allegations of gold smuggling and money laundering. The allegations were made against him in the Al Jazeera Gold Mafia documentary.

Gold Mafia allegations

Al Jazeera’s Gold Mafia documentary had alleged that Angel was involved in money laundering and gold smuggling activities. However, after conducting an extensive investigation, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s Financial Intelligence Unit found no evidence of financial crimes against him or any of the other individuals mentioned in the documentary.
