Koidu Limited was registered in the British Virgin Islands by Mossack Fonseca, the Panamanian law firm at the centre of the Panama Papers scandal. It is owned by holding company OCTร‰A Limited, which is chaired by Jan Joubert. In 2016, Sierra Leoneโ€™s high court ruled that, despite being the largest diamond mining company in the country, OCTร‰A is not required to pay tax because its parent company โ€“ the Beny Steinmetz Group Resources (BSGR) โ€“ is not registered for business in Sierra Leone. Koidu Limited was also ruled to be exempt from paying taxes to the local community, for the same reason.

 

The billionaire owner of Guernsey-registered BSGR, Beny Steinmetz, was arrested and detained in 2017 by Israeli police investigating allegations of fraud, forgery and money laundering in relation to a giant iron ore project in Guinea. He was released without charge, but BSGR has since been found liable for fraudulent misrepresentations, including a bribery scheme, by a London arbitration court with regard to the same Guinea project.
