Mozambique is suing Privinvest, its owner Iskandar Safa, Credit Suisse and others over three loans raised in 2013 and 2014, ostensibly to develop its fishing industry. In the Supreme Court case, Privinvest argued the dispute must be heard in secret arbitration proceedings. But senior judges unanimously allowed the case to be heard in a lengthy public trial in the High Court, due to begin on Oct. 3. The judgment validates Mozambique's decision to bring proceedings in the High Court, said Mozambique's London law firm Peters & Peters. The High Court ruled this month that Nyusi has state immunity.

Ibori, who is in Nigeria, said he would appeal against the confiscation order, one of the largest imposed on an individual in recent British legal history. Ibori was governor of oil-producing Delta State from 1999 to 2007 and was extradited from Dubai to Britain in 2011. Judge David Tomlinson, delivering the confiscation order at Southwark Crown Court, said Ibori should pay the sum immediately or face an eight-year jail sentence. Spokespersons for Nigerian President Bola Tinubu did not immediately respond to requests for comment on whether the Nigerian government would cooperate with the British authorities in enforcing the confiscation order. The confiscation process took over a decade after Ibori's conviction because of lengthy court delays and legal wrangling in London.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Helen Taylor, a 40-year-old virtual assistant living in the Asturias province of Spain. But from my research, I realized that "virtual assistant" is an umbrella term for a lot of different work. Associates work for a lead virtual assistant who hands over the tasks they may not have the time or ability to complete. I started by offering clients tasks I knew I could do. I start work early so my clients in London can start at 9 a.m. with a clean inbox.
