South Africa Court Considers Extraditing Mozambique's Ex-Minister.
Updated February 26, 2019A South African court started hearing arguments on Tuesday on whether Mozambique’s ex-finance minister, held since December on a US warrant, can be extradited and if so, to where.
Charges against Chang relate to loans taken by Maputo when he was head of treasury between 2005 and 2015.The money was allegedly used to secretly buy a tuna-fishing fleet and surveillance ships. Mozambique has arrested several suspects linked to the debt scandal, including the son of ex-president Armando Guebuza, as well as intelligence officials.
“We’re sending him to Mozambique to be tried,” Sisulu told South Africa’s Daily Maverick news site. “We believe that is the easiest thing for everybody.”
