Belgium Got Caught Smuggling African Gold by panafrican(op): 7:39am On Mar 20, 2022

The traditional of King Leopold continues :Theft, plunder and genocide.

BBC News/ Africa
Belgian gold dealer Alain Goetz and a network of companies have been sanctioned by the US for allegedly smuggling hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of gold from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The US government says since 2016 Mr Goetz has been trading illegally in gold that has come from Congolese mines controlled by armed groups who often use forced labour or exploit miners.

US treasury official Brian Nelson said that "conflict gold" provided the largest source of revenue to armed groups in eastern DR Congo.
