DR Congo's Ex-justice Minister Constant Mutamba Faces $20mn Embezzlement Trial | Firstpost Africa - Firstpost

Former DRC Justice Minister Constant Mutamba is on trial in Kinshasa, accused of embezzling nearly $20 million meant for war victims’ reparations. Prosecutors allege Mutamba illegally awarded a prison construction contract in Kisangani to Zion Construction SARL, a shell company founded in 2024 with no staff or infrastructure. The funds, originally paid by Uganda to compensate victims of the Second Congo War, were allegedly diverted. Mutamba, known for his fiery anti-corruption speeches, claims the charges are politically motivated and insists the money remains untouched in the bank. The next hearing in this high-profile corruption trial is set for July 30. --- DR Congo | Constant Mutamba | Kinshasa | Uganda | Firstpost Africa | Alyson Le Grange | Africa | Global South | Geopolitics | Military Coup | Environment | Climate Change | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #drcongo #constantmutamba #kinshasa #uganda #drc #firstpostafrica #africa #alysonlegrange #globalsouth #militarycoup #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
