Mozambique’s Minister of Justice, Mateus Saize, confirmed the return of former Finance Minister Manuel Chang to Mozambique. Chang arrived after completing a prison sentence in the United States related to the “hidden debts” scandal. The minister made the announcement in Quelimane but declined to comment on ongoing judicial processes involving Chang. The case centers around substantial undisclosed loans taken out by Mozambique between 2013 and 2014. These loans triggered a major financial crisis in the country and led to international investigations. Chang’s return raises questions about potential further legal proceedings within Mozambique itself, though the minister remained silent on the matter. The case continues to be a significant issue for Mozambique’s political and economic landscape.
