Kamuina Nsapu Case: SCED Demands Prosecution of 'Real Masterminds'

The Congolese Society for the Rule of Law (SCED) calls for the reopening of the Kamuina Nsapu case files to obtain reparations for victims and to sanction the real perpetrators. The organization believes that only the executors have been tried, while the masterminds, including certain authorities from that time, have never been prosecuted. SCED also criticizes the use of the death penalty in the High Military Court's verdict and notes that several cases related to crimes against Congolese citizens, such as those of Mulombodi, Nganza, and Tshisuku, have never been investigated.

Mauritius: Prosecution appeals in Ramgoolam safe-deposit boxes case

In Mauritius, the Director of Public Prosecutions has appealed the Intermediate Court's decision to dismiss the case of the safes targeting Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam. The prosecution argues that the verdict rendered Monday is erroneous in law. The case was opened after Ramgoolam's defeat in the 2014 elections, and an investigation found the equivalent of 3.62 million euros in a safe at his home. He was prosecuted for cash payments between 2009 and 2015, contrary to the anti-money laundering law; the procedure remained suspended until his return to power in 2024.
