While Justice and Correctional Services Minister Michael Masutha did acknowledge that the US submitted a request for Manuel Chang’s extradition a few weeks prior to Mozambique’s request, he felt that justice would best be served in Mozambique.

Former Mozambican finance minister Manuel Chang will be extradited to Mozambique and not the United States, Justice and Correctional Services Minister Michael Masutha said in a statement on Tuesday. The US embassy responded by releasing a statement of their own, which expressed great disappointment at the decision taken by Masutha.

The US embassy said that they had formally requested the extradition of Chang to the US before the Mozambican state requested that he be returned to his home country for trial. “I have noted that the request by the United States of America was submitted a few weeks prior to that of the Republic of Mozambique.

However an extradition request from Mozambique was then handed to the court. They left it in the hands of Masutha to decide which order should be executed.reports that Mozambique’s ruling party, Frelimo, would prefer to see Chang return to Mozambique rather than stand for trial in the US, according to Darias Jonker, Africa director at the Eurasia Group consultancy.
