January 8, 2019 Mozambique/Global: Who Pays for Transnational Corruption?
The line-up of those involved in this $2.2 billion fraudulent loan deal, now
implicated in a case in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of New York,
is multinational. The five named individuals indicted include the former Minister of
Finance of Mozambique, a Lebanese businessman representing Privinvest (an
international shipping conglomerate in Abu Dhabi), and three London-based bankers,
citizens of New Zealand, Great Britain, and Bulgaria, employed at the time of the
loans by the giant Swiss bank Credit Suisse. Three more names are redacted in the
indictment and 5 others, three Mozambicans and two additional employees of
Privinvest, are cited but not named in the text of the indictment.
May 13, 2016 Mozambique: Debt Crisis & the Panama Papers
The paragraph that originally appeared here, citing AIM, and the
cited article from AIM, reposted by AfricaFocus on
May 13, 2016, have been removed from this AfricaFocus web archive on this
page pursuant to a request from AIM, as a result of complaints to AIM
on behalf of Privinvest by its public relations firm Woodstock
Leasor Limited and its legal representative Michael Simkins LLP, both in London. For more details on the AIM
retraction, see below.
September 8, 2015 Mozambique/Africa: "The Eloquent Peasant"
The juxtaposition of a current trial for freedom of expression in
Mozambique with a classic ancient Egyptian poem may seem incongruous
at first glance. One trial currently awaiting a verdict in Maputo
includes a Mozambican economist and two Mozambican journalists [with
the trial of one journalist postponed because of health], while the
other features a peasant seeking redress from the country's rulers
for wrongs inflicted by a landowner. But the poem was cited in his
own defense by economist Carlos Nuno Castel-Branco, in a one-day
trial in Maputo on August 31.
