前马拉维国防军司令保罗·瓦伦蒂诺·菲里将军周四被该国反腐败局（ACB）逮捕，指控其协助与苏丹战争相关的非法军火走私。
Former Malawi Defense Force commander General Paul Valentino Phiri was arrested by the country's Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Thursday for allegedly facilitating illegal arms trafficking linked to the Sudan war.
反腐败局在首都利隆圭发表声明称：“指控源于有关他在2025年6月和7月协助非法军火走私的指控。”
"The charges arise from allegations concerning his role in facilitating illegal arms trafficking in June and July 2025," the ACB said in a statement issued in the capital Lilongwe.
针对这位54岁退役将军的指控包括交易与“恐怖主义”相关的财产。他面临五项与滥用职权和交易“恐怖主义财产”相关的指控。菲里曾于2023年7月至2025年10月担任马拉维国防军司令，就在前总统拉扎勒斯·麦卡锡·查克维拉在总统大选中败给现任总统阿瑟·彼得·穆萨里卡后的一个月。
The allegations against the 54-year-old retired general included dealing in property linked to “terrorism.”He was facing five counts related to abuse of office and dealings in “terrorist property.”Phiri was the commander of the Malawi Defense Force from July 2023 until October 2025, the month after former President Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera lost the general election to incumbent Arthur Peter Mutharika.
