flag France charges TotalEnergies with complicity in Mozambique atrocities linked to its LNG project.

flag The European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights has filed a criminal complaint in France accusing TotalEnergies of complicity in war crimes, torture, and enforced disappearances linked to its Mozambique LNG project. flag The complaint alleges the company supported the Mozambican Joint Task Force during a 2021 period when soldiers allegedly detained and killed around 200 civilians—many villagers—in windowless shipping containers. flag Internal documents suggest TotalEnergies knew of prior human rights abuses by the military as early as 2020 but continued its support. flag The case, filed with France’s National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor, invokes universal jurisdiction and follows a separate investigation into the 2021 Palma attacks that killed 55 contractors. flag TotalEnergies denies the allegations, calling them false, and plans to restart operations by 2029 despite $4.5 billion in cost overruns and ongoing instability.
