Transparency International, the anti-corruption organisation, clarified today that it was not the source for several online stories published this week concerning the Presidents of Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ghana and allegations of bank accounts in Switzerland and Luxembourg. The stories are a complete fabrication and do not in any way represent the views of Transparency International, or its National Chapters and other affiliates.
