Charles Falconer (Baron Falconer of Thoroton) is a British peer and former Lord Chancellor. He served as the primary legal node for the state of Djibouti during its transition toward the China-focused infrastructure model.
Role in the Djibouti Case
- Lead Counsel for Djibouti: Lord Falconer represented the Republic of Djibouti in the 2016 London High Court case against Abdourahman Boreh.
- The Legal Blow: The case ended in a significant defeat for Falconer's client, with the court dismissing all bribery charges against Boreh as "politically motivated" and finding that the court had been deliberately misled by the Djibouti legal team.
- The Strategic Overlap: While Falconer was representing the state, tacticians in Epstein's network (like David Stern) were tracking the case and celebrating Boreh's victories, indicating Falconer was operating as the official legal face of a state being internally scouted for a pivot.
