With more than 3.5 million banking documents analyzed over 9 months by 5 NGOs and 19 international media, including RFI, Congo Hold-up is the largest banking data leak ever in Africa.
It shows that, from 2013 to 2019, companies owned by former Congolese President Joseph Kabila and his inner circle received at least $ 138 million in public money.
Since Friday November 19, 2021 and for two weeks, RFI reveals all the secrets of these dubious transfers.
Today, we focus on a letterbox company, the Congolese company Sud Oil - which is at the heart of all these financial movements.
