Denise Dusauchoy case: Guillaume Ngefa says file is in pre-trial investigation phase

Congolese Justice Minister Guillaume Ngefa said Denise Mukendi, also known as Dusauchoy, is in the pre-trial investigation phase, so he could not comment on the case. He said she is presumed innocent and that her rights will be guaranteed, but did not disclose where she is being held. Arrested in Tanzania in late August and extradited to Kinshasa, the former parliamentary candidate has not yet been brought before her natural judge. Congolese authorities said the arrest followed a warrant connected to several ongoing criminal investigations and international judicial cooperation.
