London's Court of Appeal ruled on Thursday that Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi has immunity in Britain regarding the 'tuna bond' case, a litigation involving allegations of unlawful payments linked to a decade-long scandal. The case, brought by Mozambique against shipbuilder Privinvest, accused the company of bribing officials as part of a $2 billion lawsuit related to the 'tuna bonds' corruption scandal. Despite attempts by Privinvest to include Nyusi as a defendant in the litigation, the court upheld the president's immunity.
