United States anti-terrorism case against South Africa’s MTN moving ahead

The US District Court for the Eastern District of New York has moved forward with the anti-terrorism case against MTN, dismissing the company's appeals and allowing certain claims to proceed. MTN is now facing several cases brought under the US Anti-Terrorism Act, alleging ties to operations in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iran, which will proceed to the discovery phase. As the parties exchange information, the case may ultimately lead to a judgment as a matter of law, with significant implications for MTN's global operations and reputation.
