Former Mozambican Finance Minister Manuel Chang could be extradited to the US or Mozambique in connection with financial crimes. Chang is expected to hear his fate in the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. According to a report , Chang was arrested in South Africa on December 29 on a warrant from the US, where he is wanted on allegations of conspiracy to commit fraud and taking millions of dollars in bribes in a $2bn loan scandal.
The Department of International Relations and Cooperation also later confirmed receiving an extradition request from Mozambique. Earlier this month, Chang was denied bail in the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court. He argued that his detention was unlawful and that his extradition, if carried out, would also be illegal. But Magistrate Sagra Subroyen said releasing him would undermine SA's criminal justice system.
