Privinvest comments on Boustani verdict

NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is a statement from global shipbuilder Privinvest regarding the verdict in U.S. v. Boustani in federal District Court in Brooklyn, New York:

Privinvest is grateful that the jury has fully rejected the government's baseless and misguided allegations.  The jury's verdict completely exonerates Mr. Boustani and confirms what Privinvest has said for the past four years?there was absolutely no wrongdoing with respect to the Mozambique maritime projects.  As Randall Jackson, summing up on Jean Boustani's behalf, said, "This was a murder trial, when the victim was still alive."  We deeply regret that an innocent man had to endure nearly a year in jail due to the U.S. government's overreach, but we are thankful that justice has finally been done.
