An arrested pipe layer continues to languish in Ghana as the legal fight over its release heads to New York.
Dallas-based investment fund WAG SPV I last week filed suit in Manhattan federal court against Nigeria-based Fortune Global, looking to garnish $2.9m held in three accounts related to the arrest of the 8,531-gt Sea Horizon (built 1977) last autumn.
In May, WAG SPV and New York financier Hark Capital filed suit in Houston alleging the wrongful arrest has cost them more than $4.2m.
