The following is from the Woyanne-controlled Ethiopian News Agency. There is a strong suspicion that Woyanne is behind the fake gold bars that were sold to the National Bank of Ethiopia. But this should not be a surprise. Meles and his Woyanne crime family steal every thing, including the people’s vote.

Government Orders Gold Bullion at National Bank Inspected
(ENA) – The office of the prime minister this week issued an order for the inspection of all gold bars inside the vaults of the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) following the continued discoveries of fake bullion gold bars at the bank, it was learnt by The Reporter.
The latest fraud unfolded was this week when a 36 kg of gold bar, deposited five years ago at the bank by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, when inspected this week, turned out to be gold-plated steel, according to sources.
Following the recent gold scam reports, the ministry requested NBE to check its gold deposit at the bank, which, when inspected, turned out to be a fake, sources said.
The prime minister’s office this week ordered the inspection of all gold bars at NBE to the House of Peoples’ Representatives Public Accounts and Budget and Finance Standing Committees, which will pass over the order to the bank. The bill ordering the inspection came at a time parliament is in recess and is expected to be ratified when parliament resumes its work after two weeks on 14 March, sources said.
The recent sporadic gold scandals started about two month ago when NBE discovered that some of the gold bullion at its reserve vaults was steel gilded with gold. The first scandal was followed by another a week ago, which involves fake gold bars for which the bank had paid some 60m birr [about 6m US dollar]. Some 36 kg gold bars which the federal police intercepted when being smuggled to Djibouti years ago and later deposited at NBE vaults was also last week discovered to be fake.
Most of the suspects involved in the series of gold scandals are under police custody awaiting trial.

Elais: Please clarify. According to the report, “Most of the suspects involved in the series of gold scandals are under police custody awaiting trial.” Do you mean the Prime Suspect is also in police custody. By the way, was the photo you posted a few days ago showing the Prime Suspect being escorted by two black officers (or were they Ethiopians? I couldn’t tell) actually a photo of the Prime Suspect being taken into custody? Would please re-post that photo with this story. Amesgnalu.

The thief himself ordering inspection is so laughable. He surely thinks we ethiopians are stupid. All he needs to think is his way out, if he can find one. When the ethiopian people rise up he and his TPLF gang of thieves will whish they had not dared touch what is and belongs to Ethiopia. No matter what kind of cover up they do, they will never get away with what they have done!!!!.

I wonder for how long we Ethiopians are going to endure Zenawi’s contempt and humiliation. The time for massive civil disobedience is long overdue.

The owner of the vast business empire including manufacturing and services sectors, the murderer of the innocents, and the gugitive that Meles Naziawi is accumelating sins and crimes at higher speed. Gold beautiful and rare.
Nothing is legitimate and real in a lawless regime of the crime family. It is not funny!! Whisked between the guardians of law and order, held tight and firm by the arms, looking gloomy and frightened, that fugitive Meles Naziawi is under police custody for the crime he committed knowingly, shown in the picture is the one who was Ethiopian most wanted criminal.
Criminals are unkind and irrisponsible; ugly too. Nothing looks good on Meles Naziawi although he is vastly and wickedly rich.
