Mozambique Airline Executive Faces 31 Counts of Mismanagement
The former director general of Mozambique’s LAM, João Carlos Pó Jorge, has been formally charged with 31 counts of alleged financial and corruption-related offences, including mismanagement, embezzlement, and abuse of office. Pó Jorge, who served as LAM’s director general from July 2018 until his removal in February 2024, contests all charges. The case, which also involves two other former executives, may have significant implications for the airline and the country’s aviation sector. The charges were reported by ch-aviation.
