Pseudo investigation into Jules Alingete based on discharges declared false by Justice: Work of predators of public funds
By Lecoeur Mutshipayi/private correspondence
Last weekend, an online media outlet made several announcements relating to an investigation (?) into Jules Alingete, the Inspector General head of department of the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF), based on discharges and testimony of an Indian subject seeking protection before providing further details. The delivery coincides with the baptism of a book signed Patient Ligodi, journalist, boss of the online media “Actualite.cd” and RFI correspondent, entitled “Information Pollution: Fake News and Journalism in the World and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Ligodi explains how the mechanisms of disinformation operate, identifies its channels, and proposes concrete solutions to combat the spread of false information, with the aim of promoting a public space fueled by authentic, reliable and verified information.
The supposed investigation by “Politico.cd”, focused on documents and a video thrown two or even three months earlier into the trash of social networks when the IGF launched a control mission to the ex-Secope, says a lot on the Fake News production industry. It shows how the Litsani Choukran site allowed itself to be trapped or began to develop, in cold blood, a hoax. An analysis of the particularities of this singular investigation makes it possible to demonstrate how the author based his approach on falsehood. Nothing about investigative journalism. In such a case, the investigative journalist does in-depth research, consults several sources, interviews specialists on the subject or witnesses, sorts the information, prioritizes it in order to discover previously unpublished facts. The opposite of the rag laid by the media with dubious sources.
Moreover, the counter-investigation decodes that the discharges, presented as key parts of Listani's articles, are false and fabricated. “All discharges in circulation have already been the subject of the opening of a file at the General Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Cassation in 2022. They are false and fabricated to harm the boss of the IGF,” inform several judicial sources. .
The counter-investigation also notes that the four signatures attributed to Alingete and affixed to these rags are different. If three others seem similar but also differ in their constituent elements, the fourth has no relationship with them. All of them are far from conforming to the authentic signature of Jules Alingete visible in various official letters from the IGF. Technical error? Lack of attention? Everything is explained: the inspiring laboratory forgot to repeat the same signature, confirming that there is no perfect crime.
Listani's investigation ends, finally, in its part devoted to the Indian subject Youssouf, who requests protection to return to the country and come and testify further against the Inspector General of Finance. But why not have made, in another video, from his country where he is in freedom and security, these new damning revelations?
The investigator does not say that his key witness was arrested, tried and sentenced to 5 years in prison in 2021 by the Kinshasa/Gombe High Court for theft of $9 million from the company Prodimpex, his former employer.
“Sieur Youssouf served two years in prison in 2021 and 2023 before being released and deported to India,” report sources within the judicial system.
