Dundo - Criminal Investigation Service (SIC) in eastern Lunda Norte province seized Friday 318 diamond stones of several carats, in the illicit possession by a 56-year-old national citizen, in the municipality of Lucapa.
The seizure followed a micro-operation aimed to combat economic crimes and illicit diamond trafficking, said the spokesman for the institution, Graciano Lumanhe.
Graciano Lumanhe appealed to the population living in diamond mining areas to cooperate with the authorities, denouncing the illegal activity of the strategic mineral.
