France launches manslaughter probe against TotalEnergies over Mozambique attack

French prosecutors said Saturday they had opened a manslaughter investigation against energy giant TotalEnergies following a bloody 2021 jihadist attack in Mozambique.

In October 2023, survivors and relatives of victims of the attack near a major gas field in northern Mozambique launched legal action against the oil and gas giant, accusing it of failing to protect its subcontractors.
