LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Wildlife Crime Convict Yunhua Lin is back in court today at Lilongwe High Court for commencement of corruption charges.

Lin is facing five corruption charges.

On November 7, 2025 High Court Judge Redson Kapindu rejected Lin’s applications discharge on unlawful detention and bail application.

Kapindu cited the suspect being flight risk and the serious offences he committed might compromise the court proceedings.

The case arose shortly after Lin’s controversial presidential pardon in July, this year which was followed by his re-arrest by ACB.

Lin is being on remand at Dedza Prison.

Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) legal team is being led by Peter Sambani while newly appointed Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Fostino Maele has been representing Lin in court.
