The Mozambican branch of Coca-Cola has threatened to take the country's largest bank, BIM (International Bank of Mozambique), to court, in order to recover some 12 billion meticais (US$600 000) fraudulently removed from the soft drink giant’s accounts.

Agencia de Informacao de Mocambique quotes Coca-Cola manager Soren Hansen as saying the company was surprised by a note from the Finance Ministry, fining it for non-payment of taxes.
