SA court rules Mozambique ex-finance minister can be extradited to US | IOL News

Johannesburg - A South African court has ruled that Mozambique's former finance minister Manuel Chang can be extradited to the United States, where he is wanted on charges related to a $2 billion debt scandal, one of Chang's lawyers said on Monday.

Chang has been in custody in South Africa since December when he was arrested at the request of the United States for his alleged involvement in $2 billion of borrowing that US authorities say was fraudulent. Stiaan Krause, one of Chang's lawyers, told Reuters via WhatsApp that the South African court had ruled Chang was extraditable to the United States. He didn't elaborate, or immediately reply to subsequent messages.

Instead, they argued he should be extradited to neighbouring Mozambique, where he also faces charges related to his involvement with the loans.
