Intimidation and scare tactics won't work on us: we will continue to demand real action to bring greater transparency to DRC's mining sector
Global Witness asserts that its investigation into Dan Gertler's use of a suspected international money laundering network to evade US sanctions is based on rigorous evidence. The organization reports that prior to and following publication, it and its partner, the Platform for the Protection of Whistleblowers in Africa (PPLAAF), faced intimidation tactics, including a criminal complaint filed by Afriland First Bank in Paris and coordinated social media smear campaigns. Global Witness maintains that these actions are intended to protect the status quo of the DRC mining sector and calls on Congolese, US, and EU authorities to investigate the findings.
