Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Russian bank VTB no longer has lawyers in the case of Mozambique\u2019s hidden debts in British justice, creating uncertainty in the case also affected by the difficulties of the Attorney General\u2019s Office in sharing official documents, it was said in London on Friday.<\/p>\n

The procedural management hearing held at the London commercial court was the first in which the law firm Freshfields did not intervene on behalf of VTB, after it terminated the contract to comply with sanctions imposed on the Russian bank over the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Judge Robin Knowles said VTB remains part of the case and subject to the same obligations, so \u201cit may at some point have consequences if it does not comply or cannot progress the case\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that happens, if VTB wants, after a period of inactivity, to take an active part again, that will be considered at that time (\u2026). It may or may not be too late, and there may be conditions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Freshfields announced in March that it would stop representing VTB, which is subject to asset freeze sanctions and excluded from the banking transaction system, making payments to lawyers impossible. In a statement, it announced that it was refusing to represent \u201ccompanies or individuals with close ties to the Russian state, with relations with the leadership regime in general and\/or who play a role in supporting or facilitating current Russian military action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan Adkin, a lawyer representing Mozambique\u2019s public prosecutor\u2019s office (PGR), which began court proceedings in London, noted the \u201cgrowing uncertainty related to the VTB\u201d in meeting the procedural timetable planned until the trial begins in October 2023. For his part, Adkin confirmed that the PGR will not be able to meet the planned deadline of sharing the documents that support the prosecution, asking for a three-month postponement, from September to December.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a very complicated situation for Mozambique,\u201d the British lawyer admitted, claiming that the collection of documents involves state departments, sub-departments and public entities such as Mozambique\u2019s central bank. The lack of a sophisticated system of digital archiving of documents, the existence of a lot of information on paper, all in Portuguese, and the lack of financial resources create additional challenges to gather all the documentation.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo give you an idea, Mozambique\u2019s total budget is equivalent to 20% of the revenue of Credit Suisse, which shows the scale of the challenges in this exercise, not to mention issues of state secrecy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Disclosure of the documents used by the respective parties to build their cases is mandatory before the trial begins.<\/p>\n

\u201cMain elephant in the room\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

While acknowledging the uncertainty created by VTB\u2019s absence, the lawyer representing Credit Suisse, Andrew Hunter, considered that the \u201cmain elephant in the room is the lack of disclosure by Mozambique\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s central to the case because you\u2019re going to have more critical documents about employees, transactions, contracts, who intervened and that\u2019s what we need for a fair trial,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

Hunter lamented the constant \u201cobstacles\u201d raised by the PGR in accessing documents, be it the current criminal case being tried in Maputo over the hidden debts, or other documents, such as emails.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is April in 2022 and the Republic of Mozambique has nothing to show us, all it has done is identify obstacles that could prevent any disclosure. If that happens, we are going to have a very big problem in terms of the fairness of the trial,\u201d he warned, opposing a delay in the planned timetable.<\/p>\n

The shipping group Privinvest, through its lawyer Duncan Matthews, also criticised the \u201cconfusion\u201d created by PGR\u2019s delays, pointing out that the authorities have already had time to gather the documents bearing in mind that they have been investigating the scandal for seven years.<\/p>\n

The lawyer also criticised the \u201cabsurd\u201d lack of involvement of the current president of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, who was arraigned for the proceedings but did not respond. \u201cThe former defence minister resists the disclosure of documents with the excuse that they are secret,\u201d he criticised.<\/p>\n

Sensitive to the \u201cfundamental importance\u201d of disclosure of the documents by all parties to the trial, Judge Robin Knowles refused to accede to Mozambique\u2019s requested adjournment.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, if disclosure is inadequate, there could be very serious consequences, including sanctions, such as elimination\u201d of parties violating the roadmap, the judge warned.<\/p>\n

A further hearing is scheduled for mid-June to assess progress and the possible need to readjust the trial schedule.<\/p>\n

Initiated by the PGR on behalf of the Republic of Mozambique in 2019, the lawsuit in the British courts seeks to try to cancel the $622 million debt owed by state-owned company Proindicus to the Credit Suisse bank and obtain compensation to cover all losses resulting from the hidden debts scandal.<\/p>\n

At issue are the hidden debts of the Mozambican state of around two billion dollars (1.8 billion euros) contracted between 2013 and 2014 in the form of loans with the British subsidiaries of investment banks Credit Suisse and VTB on behalf of the Mozambican state companies Proindicus, Ematum and MAM.<\/p>\n

The financing was intended for the purchase of tuna fishing boats and for maritime security equipment and services provided by Privinvest companies.<\/p>\n
