"A syndicate that involves Immigration officials and security organs in charge of the issuance of Tanzanian travel documents to aliens has been busted.
The multimillion shillings racket was busted last week when a group of 27 Somalis who were in possession of Tanzanian Emergency Travel documents were arrested by Malawian authorities at Mbeya border point.
The Somalis, pausing as Tanzania businessmen, were apprehended at Naronga border post as they attempted to cross into Mozambique. Following the January 14 incident, it is feared that hundreds of foreigners could be in possession and use of Tanzanian passports and other travel documents. "
