PARIS: A European human rights nonprofit on Tuesday accused TotalEnergies of complicity in war crimes, torture and enforced disappearances allegedly carried out by government soldiers in Mozambique, filing a criminal complaint with French prosecutors.
The French oil major, along with its project partners, recently lifted force majeure on their $20 billion Mozambique LNG project four years after a deadly Islamist militant attack brought construction to a halt.
A TotalEnergies press officer referred Reuters to statements made in March by CEO Patrick Pouyanne that an internal company review had not found any evidence to corroborate the allegations.
