Beny Steinmetz

Register entry

Beny Steinmetz is recorded in this register under the heading “Court record”, in connection with the role of Businessman, mining and commodities. The entry is filed to Geneva (Switzerland), which is the location associated with the role in the published material rather than a statement of present residence or employment.

The Geneva proceedings concerned payments connected with mining rights in Guinea. He has consistently denied wrongdoing. The register reproduces the substance of the linked source and does not extend it. Where a matter has been appealed, reopened, or closed without findings, that position is stated as the source states it, and the summary line for this entry reads: “Convicted by a Geneva court in 2021 of corruption of foreign public officials; conviction reviewed on appeal.”

The entry rests on a published judicial decision or an established news agency report of one. It records the finding as the court expressed it, and nothing beyond it. Readers assessing counterparty, employment or reputational risk should treat this page as a signpost to the primary material — cited here as Geneva Criminal Court / Reuters — and should verify current status directly with the issuing court, authority or publisher before acting. Corrections and right-of-reply requests are handled through the register's legal notice.
