MOZAMBIQUE FILES CHARGES AGAINST EX-FINANCE MINISTER OVER $2 BILLION DEBT

On 10 November, the Sowetan Live reported that Mozambique has filed provisional embezzlement, money laundering and abuse of office charges against former finance minister Manuel Chang over $2 billion in state-guaranteed debt borrowed during his term in office.  He has been in custody in South Africa since December 2018 and is being sought both by Mozambique and the US to face prosecution over the loans.  3 former Credit Suisse bankers who helped arrange the loans pleaded guilty in the US earlier this year to conspiracy charges including bribery and fraud.
