Kojo Annan, the son of the UN secretary-general Kofi Annan, yesterday accepted substantial undisclosed damages from Times Newspapers Ltd over a claim that he was involved in negotiations to sell Iraqi oil.
Mr Annan had brought high court libel proceedings over a story published in the Sunday Times in January 2005 which alleged that he had admitted to a friend his involvement in negotiations to sell 2m barrels of Iraqi oil to a Moroccan company. In September a UN independent inquiry into oil-for-food found no evidence of Kojo Annan's participation in the negotiation.
