LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The High Court Judge Redson Kapindu on morning, November 7, 2025 dismissed Wildlife Crime Convict and Corruption suspect Yunhua Lin’s unlawful detention and bail applications.
Judge Kapindu cited the suspect being flight risk and the serious offences he committed might compromise the court proceedings.
The Judge therefore ordered continual detection of Lin at Dedza Prison.
Kapindu therefore adjourned the case for fresh corruption hearings on Lin’s for January 12 to 13, 2026 at 10 am.
Reacting to the ruling, Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) legal team leader Peter Sambani
expressed satisfactory over the verdict agreeing with the court that the suspect is a flight risk who might jump the bail.
“ACB is very happy with the ruling. We are ready to commerce corruption charges against Lin in January, 2026”, assures Sambani.
Newly, appointed Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Festino Maele has been representing Lin in court.
During today’s ruling, Maele was seen around the court seeing off Lin but he was not present in the chamber when Judge Kapindu dismissed the applications.
Maele has been representing Lin in a corruption case in which the Chinese national is accused of attempting to bribe a High Court judge and prison officials to secure his release.
The case arose shortly after Lin’s controversial presidential pardon in July, this year which was followed by his re-arrest by ACB.
Lin faces five corruption charges!
