France's highest court dashes Mohsen Hojeij's hopes to seize more money

摘要

After he was authorised to seize $30m from the Congolese national oil company SNPC's bank account, businessman Mohsen Hojeij has been denied any more of his $1.2bn debt claim on Brazzaville through the French justice system.The construction company Commisimpex, which has been using every move in the book to get Brazzaville to settle a $1.2bn debt, hit a major setback from France's court of cassation on 3 February. The court, the highest-instance tribunal in France, upheld a ruling issued by the Paris court of appeal in 2018 that rejected the seizure of the Congolese state's bank accounts with Societe Generale in France.
