Zambia Reports has become a weapon of character assassination for the Ventriglia family. Rajan Mahtani, a respected businessman in Zambia and worldwide has become a victim of their vicious conspiracy as his path crossed with the illegal route that the Italian Mafias were taking. The main reason behind this slander crusade is Portland Cement Zambia and its ownership. As per PACRA, the legitimate owner of Portland Cement Zambia is Finsbury Investment, but the minority shareholders of the factory, Ital Terrazzo Limited (owned by Ventriglias) claim themselves as the owner.
Though the case had been previously settled as it was declared that Finsbury Investment, in which Rajan Mahtani is a key figure, is the owner of Portland Cement Zambia, the Ventriglia family has refused to believe this fact. The impact of the decision resulted in development of jealousy and frustration among the Italian Mafias and hence, began a series of conspiracy where Zambia Reports was hired to do the needful.
Today Zambia Reports has been running a string of articles in their portal that either claim that Raja Mahtani is a controversial businessman or any of his entity is linked to illegal business operation. No matter what the event be, Zambia Reports is always keen to place its own perspective on a given incident and then use ‘a trusted source’ at the end of the article to make people believe in their trash talking. Time and over again, warnings have been issued by Mahtani Group of Companies and other legal bodies but Zambia Reports prefers hiding behind the Ventriglia family. The result is that Zambia Reports can continue with their shameful articles while Ventriglia family use their money power to suppress questions that rise against Zambia Reports and its authors. This is how Rajan Mahtani is being targeted, this is how Zambia is being silently pushed deeper into corruption and monopoly.
