Swiss authorities searched Beny Steinmetz’s private jet during August raids that also covered his Geneva home, said the billionaire’s lawyer, who added that the raids failed to yield any evidence of corruption relating to a Guinea ore project.
Steinmetz, whose company BSG Resources Ltd. owns a 49 per cent stake in a venture that controls half of the giant Simandou iron ore deposit, is expected to meet Geneva’s public prosecutor within three to four weeks, Marc Bonnant, his lawyer, said in a phone interview today.
