Johannesburg – Mozambique's government is to fight for the extradition from South Africa of former finance minister Manuel Chang, who the US is seeking to put on trial, according to a letter from a law firm seen by Reuters.
An affidavit filed on Lamola's behalf in mid-July said he wanted an opportunity to consider whether Chang could be extradited to the US, where he faces charges including money laundering and conspiracy to commit fraud. When contacted by Reuters about the letter, a Justice Ministry spokesman said it is now a matter for the courts.
Their disclosure in 2016 prompted foreign donors including the International Monetary Fund to cut off support for Mozambique, triggering a currency collapse and debt default.
