Mozambique President Filipe Jacinto Nyusi addresses the 78th Session of the U.N. General Assembly in New York City, U.S., September 19, 2023. REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi was ultimately responsible for the failure of the projects at the centre of the "tuna bond" scandal, the owner of Emirati-Lebanese shipbuilder Privinvest told London's High Court on Wednesday. "When President Nyusi replaced former President Guebuza a power struggle ensued between them," Safa said. "President Nyusi made deliberate decisions to undermine the projects and as a result the republic failed to take the necessary steps to monetize the projects as intended." The trial began in earnest last week after a delay caused by Mozambique's 11th-hour settlement with Credit Suisse's new owner, UBS (UBSG.S).

REUTERS/Grant Lee Neuenburg/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Mozambique is seeking more than $3 billion in damages from Emirati-Lebanese shipbuilder Privinvest over the decade-old "tuna bond" scandal, London's High Court heard on Tuesday. The case centres on deals struck by state-owned companies with Privinvest for loans and bonds from banks including Credit Suisse in 2013 and 2014 for fishing boats and maritime security. Mozambique alleged Privinvest paid bribes on an "industrial scale", involving the "grand corruption" of officials including Mozambique's former Finance Minister Manuel Chang, court filings showed. Chang was extradited to the U.S., where in July he pleaded not guilty to fraud and money laundering charges related to the tuna bonds scandal.

☆ Mozambique can sue Privinvest in London 'tuna bond' case, UK court rules
  + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Sam Tobin | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
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.
