Bóer bean case: Court rejects PGR's decision to close case

Caso feijão bóer: Tribunal recusa decisão da PGR para arquivar processo

The Nacala-Porto court decided not to follow the Mozambican Attorney General's Office (PGR), which had ordered the case over the dispute between RGL and the ETG conglomerate over the export of bore beans to India to be closed.

In an order dated January 15, signed by Deputy Attorney General Amabelia Chuquela, of the Specialized Department for the Criminal Area, that body had decided to "annul the decisions of the Public Prosecutor's Office" of Nacala-Porto in the preparatory investigation of this case.

According to a report in Correio da Manhã, the dispute - in which the PGR considered the amount of the bail set by the Public Prosecutor's Office to be "absurd and astronomical" - has been opposing the two groups for several months and has conditioned the export of bóer beans and other agricultural products from that northern port town to India.
