Tshisekedi case in Belgium: “The searches demonstrate the seriousness of our complaint,” says lawyer Hervé Diakiese

Searches were carried out on October 14 in Brussels and nearby municipalities as part of a Belgian investigation into alleged money laundering involving people close to Félix Tshisekedi. Lawyer Hervé Diakiese, representing civil society organizations from Grand Katanga that filed a complaint in July 2025, said the searches demonstrate the seriousness of their complaint and the evidence they submitted. The complainants allege corruption, misappropriation of funds, money laundering, and irregularities related to mining in the region. Diakiese stressed that the investigation is ongoing and that no one’s guilt has been established.
