Ubert Angel, a self-proclaimed prophet and one of Zimbabwe’s most influential diplomats, has been implicated in Al-Jazeera’s undercover investigation on laundering operations involving gold smuggling.
The cleric, once hosted in Nigeria by Apostle Johnson Suleman of the Omega Fire Ministries early this year, admitted that he could use his Diplomatic Passport to Launder up to $1.2 billion.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa, in 2021, appointed Angel as a special envoy and ambassador-at-large to Europe and the Americas.
Angel repeatedly admitted that Mnangagwa was aware of his schemes.
He offered to Al-Jazeera’s undercover reporters that he could use his diplomatic cover to carry large volumes of dirty cash into Zimbabwe as part of a laundering operation involving gold smuggling.
He said, “I can call the president now, not tomorrow, now and put him on the speaker; it’s not an issue.
“We are the government.”
Angel believes he can heal the sick and predict the outcomes of football matches and elections. His church has branches in almost 15 countries of the world
