A court in Britain which heard a Djibouti Govt. case versus, a Djiboutian business tycoon who was once the director of the sea ports authority and the trade preferential area in Djibouti,  Mr. Abdirahman Boreh and his firms acquitted Mr. Bore and his companies.

Mr Boreh was accused of siphoning off millions of dollars from a contract to expand the harbor near the capital Djibouti City. In 2014, the London High Court found key parts of the evidence against Mr. Boreh had been fabricated and threw out the case, only to have the Guelleh government lay a fresh charge of corruption. It is claimed that the trial cost to Djibouti government was 90 million dollars.

Before the court, the lawyers of the Djiboutian Government said they would not oppose the verdict of the court before the  trial started this morning. In the allegations set against him by the Djibouti Government, is terrorism.

However the British High Court in London rejected that allegation. The Djibouti Government wanted Boreh's assets in Europe and elsewhere, valued at over $100 million to be frozen, an attempt which couldn't work either.
