Former Minister of Justice in the Congo People’s Republic was found guilty of embezzling millions of dollars intended for the construction of a prison in the city of Kissanangani and was now sentenced to three years of forced labor. Former Minister Konstad Mutaba is also deprived of the right to vote for five years after he served his sentence, as announced by Court President Jacques Campasselle. Mutaba supporters have long been demonstrating, demanding the liberation of the 37 -year -old politician. Last week, the court was forced to postpone the verdict due to heavy clashes that broke out in the capital Kinshasa between protesters and police. The Attorney General prosecuted Mutaba, who resigned from a justice minister in June at the expense of a scandal of $ 19 million. However, he denied his involvement in the case. Earlier this year, Mutaba had supported the launch of a judicial investigation against former President Joseph Campilas about his alleged ties with the M23 rebel movement. Source: RES
