The Attorney-General’s Office is investigating the smuggling
of timber from Mozambique to China, and the possible involvement of senior
figures in the government and the ruling Frelimo Party in this illicit trade,
according to a newspaper in the country. The smuggling was denounced by a
British-based NGO, the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA), which looked
at the figures from both the Mozambican and Chinese ends of the trade and
spotted “enormous discrepancies”. The
imports of Mozambican timber declared in China massively exceed the exports
declared in Mozambique.
