billionaire financier George Soros has been sued for $ 10 billion from BSG Resources Ltd. (BSGR), controlled by the Israeli diamond mining mogul Beni Steinmetz (Beny Steinmetz), Bloomberg reported.
The complaint is that because of the Soros BSGR lost exactly the same amount largely due to his deliberate defamation campaign that deprived Steinmetz mining rights to mine Simandu (Simandou) in Guinea, as well as in other locations.
BSGR says Soros organized a campaign against it, financing law firms, human rights groups, investigators and government officials in Guinea.
Swiss and Israeli law enforcement authorities to investigate and questioned Steinmetz on suspicion of bribing officials in order to obtain a share in Simandu. However, no charges have been filed against him.
BSGR and Steinmetz have lost their right to Simandu after the discovery of the Government of Guinea bribed with the help of millions of bribes, including in favor of Mamady Toure, the fourth wife of the former president of Guinea.
In its lawsuit BSGR maintains that Mamady Toure, complicit in this group, an adviser to President Alpha Conde was paid $ 50,000 and another $ 80,000 - from "an agent or affiliate of Soros."
