Dabine Dabire released from prison in Angola
On July 4, 2019, the Angolan Supreme Court ordered Dabine Dabire released from prison. He’d been in a Viana prison in Luanda for a year and four months. The release is on the grounds that “there is no likelihood that he committed crimes of which it was pronounced.” This is according to Google Translation from Portuguese to English of the “Journal de Angola” article.
Dabine Dabire was in custody after being indicted for the crime of mockery for defrauding the Angolan state, a criminal association, active corruption and influence peddling. A source at the Supreme Court said that Dabine Dabire appealed and in the face of the lack of consistency of the case, the court issued the release warrant.
Dabine Dabire said in another article on “VOA” (also via Google Translate) that he will remain in Angola to show that he never intended to extort the state. He says it was an unjust imprisonment.
