Prosecutors from the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) have launched searches at the headquarters of the National Institute for Road Transport (INATRO) in Maputo and its provincial delegation in Maputo Province.

The investigations reportedly concern the issuance of fraudulent driving licences and other illicit activities involving bribery. However, the PGR has not yet issued an official statement regarding the ongoing operations.

In a related development, a separate team from the PGR apprehended a Municipal Police officer this afternoon during a sting operation for illegal public charging.
