An international anti-corruption organization, Transparency International (TI) is urging financial institutions and lawyers in the UK who are involved in the controversial Agyapa mineral royalties deal to withdraw their interests.
The organization has also written to the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to reject the application to list Agyapa Royalties Limited on the London Stock Exchange if concerns about corruption in the deal are not “satisfactorily addressed.”
TI in a
blog post on its website on Tuesday December 22, 2020 said it had forwarded a copy of its submission to J.P. Morgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch International and law firm White and Case.
