A South African judge has ruled in favor of the arrest of Mozambique's former finance minister, Manuel Chang, who was detained at Johannesburg airport over alleged secret loans to Mozambican state companies totaling $2 billion. The loans caused the country to default on its loans.
Chang’s lawyers argued that his detention by South Africa on a U.S. extradition request was illegal. But Judge Sagra Subroyen dismissed the application at Johannesburg’s Kempton Park magistrates court, saying “this court agrees with the state to consider that the arrest warrant is valid”
