The East African Court of Justice has awarded exiled Rwandan businessman Tribert Rujugiro $1 million after it found that the Kigali government violated the East African Community Treaty when it took over and sold his shopping mall.

The ruling was delivered on Tuesday. The award attracts an interest of six percent every year until Rwanda makes the payment to Mr Rujugiro in full.
