DR Congo: Quash Whistleblowers Death Sentences

(Kinshasa) – Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo should quash the death sentences imposed in absentia on two whistleblowers who provided information on corruption. Congolese authorities should instead investigate the allegations of criminal activity reported by Gradi Koko and Navy Malela, two former bank employees who exposed alleged illegal financial practices and money laundering.

Gertler claims in response to this report that based on a legal opinion he commissioned, the sanctions do not apply to the dollar activity attributed to his associates in DRC, one reason being that Afriland has no link to the United States.
