Jersey has seized £829,500 from a corrupt trust account and returned it to the authorities in Mozambique.
An investigation found the funds, which had been held in a Jersey Trust, came from bribes paid to a high ranking civil servant in Mozambique by firms wanting to secure construction contracts in the country.
Jersey’s Attorney General Mark Temple and the Vice-Attorney General of Mozambique, His Excellency Alberto Paulo, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with funds set to be used by Mozambique authorities to combat financial crime.
Mr Temple said he was “delighted” Jersey authorities were able to help.
