Frederick Chiluba of Zambia

Frederick Chiluba ruled Zambia between 1991 and 2001.

Chiluba failed in his bid to run for a third term, even though he looted his country's treasury.

$58 million out of his ill-gotten assets in England were identified, confiscated and ordered to be returned to Zambia to assist the disillusioned and impoverished citizenry.
