The Lusaka magistrates court sentenced him to a two-year jail sentence with hard labour for producing defamatory documentaries and disposing of property suspected to be proceeds of crime.
He was released from Prison in April 2017 when President Edgar Lungu pardoned him and exercised the presidential prerogative of mercy.
