Mozambique 'tuna bond' scandal: Ex-President Guebuza's son on trial

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

The son of Mozambique's ex-president and 18 others have gone on trial over the $2bn (£1.5bn) "tuna bonds" affair. Ndambi Guebuza, son of former President Armando Guebuza, and the others face charges of blackmail, embezzlement and money laundering. Mozambique's biggest corruption scandal led donors including the IMF to cut funding for the country and the economy to collapse. Focus on Africa's Bola Mosuro has been talking to journalist Jose Tembe for more. (Photo: One of the loans was for Mozambique's tuna industry. Credit: Reuters)
