Former presidential aide Collins Magalasi has been charged under Malawi's Cyber and Electronic Transactions law over an alleged phone hacking plot. Prosecutors say he helped another person gain access to devices belonging to President Peter Mutharika and several senior public officers. The charge sheet was read in the Lilongwe Chief Resident Magistrate's Court, where Magalasi is accused of working with an identified accomplice. The cybercrime count adds a new angle to the case against the former State House official.
