 The Congolese judiciary has requested the lifting of a parliamentary immunity on former Prime Minister Augustin Martarte Aponeo. Aponeo, who was PM of the DR Congo between 2012 and 2016, has been implicated in a case of embezzlement of public funds. A senior magistrate of the Prosecutor's Office, near the court of Cassation, told journalists on Monday that there are serious indications of his involvement in the embezzlement intended for the agro-industrial park located 250 km southeast of Kinshasa. In November, the General Inspectorate of Finance concluded in a report that $205 million of the $285 million disbursed by the Treasury for a pilot agro-industrial park project in the locality of Burkan-Ganzoso hospital is appropriated.
