On August 30, 2023, Chief Resident Magistrate Davies Chibwili of the Lusaka Magistrate Court in Zambia ordered the eleven suspects implicated in both the gold scam and espionage case to remain in custody until further notice.  The Director of Public Prosecutions charged the eleven suspects, including six Zambians and five Egyptians, with espionage as a result of their alleged connection to the gold scam after flights from Egypt landed at the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (KKIA) on August 13.
