Finsbury Investment and Rajan Mahtani illegally tried multiple times to take control of Zambezi Portland Cement (ZPC) through forged documents, despite several injunctions from Zambian courts protecting the rightful owners. The Supreme Court then accepted a fraudulent shareholder transfer document from Finsbury, temporarily removing the lawful owners. Further, the deportation of ZPC operations manager Daniele Ventriglia, deemed a "danger", enabled Mahtani to seize control of ZPC without hindrance. However, Mahtani was later arrested on two counts of forgery for illegally transferring ZPC shares to Finsbury through forged documents.

1. MAHTANI’S
HIJACKING OF ZAMBEZI
PORTLAND CEMENT
(ZPC)

2. The Beginning
- Finsbury Investment and
Rajan Mahtani have
several times tried to take
control of Zambezi
Portland Cement (ZPC)
illegally, but to no avail
- Zambian High courts
protected the rightful
owners / Directors with
several injunctions
restraining Finsbury
/Mahtani acting as
Directors and Share
holders.

3. A Fraudulent Transfer
Goes Through
- Finsbury Investments forged a
shareholder transfer document
and although they were not party
to the Supreme court judgment on
the matter dated 21 April 2010, the
Supreme Court accepted them as
rightful operators of ZPC, taking
out the main party and lawful
owners in a controversial
judgment…albeit temporarily.

4. A Scandalous Deportation
Order
- Further exceptional circumstances that followed a Supreme Court decree were
that Antonio Ventriglia and Manuela Sebastiani were declared prohibited
immigrants. This story is totally distorted and false. The truth is that Antonio
Ventriglia and Manuela Sebastiani have never been deported or ever had any
problems with the Zambian immigration since their fist stay in Zambia in1957.
- On the 20th November 2012, Mr. Daniele Ventriglia, the Operations manger of
ZPC, was summoned to present himself to the Immigration Department in Ndola
where he was informed by the Regional Immigration Officer that his Residence
Permit had since been revoked because he was considered to be a “Danger to
the peace of the Nation”. He was given four hours to leave the country and was
taken to Ndola International Airport where he boarded Kenya Airways to Nairobi
and then on to Rome via Amsterdam, on a ticket that had been given to him and
paid for in cash by the Immigration Authorities.

5. Under New (Unlawful)
Manaagement
- With the rightful owners temporarily forced to
leave Ndola, their home for years,
Finsbury/Mahtani attempted to be considered
directors and shareholders of ZPC, seizing it
under documents forged by Finsbury / Mahtani
themselves.
- On what basis did the Supreme Court
consider Finsbury / Mahtani a party to Zambezi
Portland Cement?
- What became clear - The deportation orders
were given to enable Rajan Mahtani to take
over the Zambezi Portland Cement plant
without any hindrance.

6. Retribution
- Finally, justice appears to be prevailing -
On June 2, Rajan Mahtani was arrested by
police on two counts of forgery Contracry to
Section 344chapter nine of the Penal Code
Cap 87 of the Laws of Zambia.
- In both counts, Dr. Mahtani is alleged to
have jointly and whilst acting with other
persons unknown forged a Transfer of
500,000,000 Shares from Zambezi Portland
Cement into Finsbury Investment Limited
purporting that the forms were dully signed
by the Directors of Zambezi Portland
Cement when in fact not.
- Although he has been released on bail,
the many victims of Mahtani are awaiting
their day in court with the hope that this
corrupt criminal is sentenced to jail.
