HIGH COURT BACKS ACB ON AMARYLLIS ACCOUNTS, ALLOWS HOTEL OPERATIONS TO CONTINUE

The High Court of Malawi has upheld a decision by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to keep restrictions on some bank accounts linked to the Amaryllis Hotel transaction.

In a ruling delivered on 4 May 2026, Redson Kapindu said the ACB acted within the law by preserving certain accounts as part of ongoing investigations. He explained that such measures are important to protect public interest and prevent possible misuse of funds.

However, the court also allowed the release of operational accounts used by the hotel. This decision aims to ensure that normal business activities continue without disruption.
Justice Kapindu stressed that while fighting corruption is important, authorities must also protect legitimate economic activity.

The court further confirmed that the ACB has the legal power to preserve assets and continue investigations where there are reasonable grounds.
