Go easy mate . The point I was making is Kobold remaining silent is encouraging . Not f--king negative . I posted previously that rather than focusing on the negative news (or no news ) from AVZ we should keep an eye on what Kobold is doing /saying . That the news flow will probably come from Kobold and not AVZ .Kobold staying quiet to me is positive . OK ?

High levels of corruption crumbling Tshisekedi regime
Author: Yousuf Rwaka2025-06-01
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) stands out as one of the most corrupt and poor countries worldwide. President Felix Tshisekedi’s family and inner circle are embezzling national resources while the Congolese suffer from hunger and poor infrastructure in all aspects of life.
Congolese Minister of Justice Constant Mutamba is now one of the targets of the very system he oversees. He is under investigation for embezzlement and public funds mismanagement.
A request for investigation was made by the Attorney General to the National Assembly to launch a judicial investigation on Mutamba, who is accused of embezzling USD 39 million intended for the construction of a prison in Kisangani, Tshopo province.
“The National Assembly has authorized the Attorney General of the Court of Cassation to initiate legal proceedings against the Minister of Justice. He was forced to submit his resignation to Prime Minister Judith Suminwa,” said a source from Kinshasa.
For the minister of justice to be subjected to prosecution, the National Assembly was required to lift his immunity. It is unclear whether Tshisekedi will allow fair legal proceedings against Mutamba’s crimes, as the latter has been the president’s preferred proxy.
Tshisekedi had shielded his special strategic advisor, Vidiye Tshimanga, in September 2022, after leaked videos went viral showing Tshimanga offering unlimited access to DRC’s minerals in exchange for bribes, including shares in the companies and underhand paybacks, for himself and the president.
Former Minister of Finance, Nicolas Kazadi, a close confidant of Tshisekedi, has been linked to a scandal regarding the misappropriation of millions of US dollars.
Since Tshisekedi’s maneuvers to mask corruption scandals tied to his inner circle are not anything new, Kazadi discreetly left DRC in June 2024 for France through arrangements made from the President’s Office.
Kazadi has never been subject to any arrest warrant, and his case has remained dormant.
On May 20, the former Prime Minister who turned opposition leader - Matata Ponyo - was sentenced to 10 years of forced labor after he was convicted by the Constitutional Court of involvement in the embezzlement of approximately USD 245 million in state funds.
Matata’s accomplices, such as former Central Bank Governor Deogratias Mutombo and South African businessman Christo Grobler were sentenced to five years in prison.
Corruption and embezzlement are longstanding issues in the DRC, but Tshisekedi’s regime made the situation worse than ever.
Tshisekedi’s regime is increasingly crumbling over corruption and embezzlement scandals, in addition to the escalating armed conflict in eastern DRC where AFC/M23 rebels control swathes of territory in the Kivus.
The 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) ranked DRC 163 out of 180 countries, with a score of 20 out of 100, indicating a high level of perceived public sector corruption. The report perceived DRC as one of the least effective countries in controlling public-sector corruption.

That's spicy. Chinese counter-play is obvious now. Go for Fatshit Clan corruption through Belgian courts. 8bill plus in Swiss accounts right? Stashed $ in Cypress recently.
Fat boy should have a look what Ibrahim Traore does in Burkino Faso...If any leader in the whole of Africa could follow his approach...the world would be a much better place....my fully respect to Ibrahim Traore, a real leader with proper balls.I keep private records these days.

Imposter used AI to pose as Marco Rubio and contact foreign ministers
The State Department says it is investigating the incident, in which an "unknown individual" impersonated Rubio through the app Signal.

My first thought was... now which AVZ investor would be dumb enough to try it.

Then I completely misinterpreted the intended tone of your post, but probably partly because it's not the first time you've questioned KoBolds silence.

However, just a thought.....
Are these cases surfacing just now, because FT is trying to do a deal with the USA?
It would not surprise me that the Chinese have their finger prints all over this. Why not 12 months ago?
Felix's entourage being fraudulently active ripping the DRC off is nothing new.
China absolutely does not want the USA broker a deal with FT, it is not just the money.
It has much more to do with the power games China can play at the moment, with their almost monopoly over rare earths. They have the entire world by the nuts atm.
China is even using it in their battle with the USA over tariffs.
China will use any possible dirty trick one can dream up, to stop FT making any deal with the USA, including lithium.
In my opinion it is also exactly the same with Locke taking AVZ to court just now.
And Chaina of course saying, it isn't me, I don't know nothing!
And at the same time, the rumours coming from China that Xi Jinping is really Xi Limping are becoming stronger every day.
I don't know if they push people out of windows in Beijing, like they do in Moscow.
But if I was Xi, I would stay away from windows, better safe than sorry.
All IMO.
Fuck Zijin.

Sadly Cominière S.A. doesn't understand that the ICC doesn't believe their bullshit.
It is the reason Cominiere has not had one single win in Paris.
The ICC has handed down a Partial Award, dated 10 March 2025, in respect of the liquidation of the accrued penalties for Cominière's non-compliance with the emergency orders, and ordered that Cominière pay a penalty of €39,125,000 plus interest.
