In their pursuit of Boreh, Djibouti’s government succeed in having his assets frozen and sentenced him in absentia to 15 years in prison on charges of terrorism.
The London high court had already overturned the freezing of Boreh’s assets which had been linked to a “false terrorism conviction” and was part of a “concerted campaign against Mr Boreh”, Justice Julian Flaux said in his ruling.
Djibouti’s government had mounted a claim of about 130 million dollars in damages against Boreh, accusing him of having abused his position as an advisor to the president and accepting bribes from Dubai Ports World, the manager of Djibouti’s port.
