An Israeli mining mogul set up a global money laundering network to work around American sanctions and extract mineral wealth from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Haaretz newspaper reported Thursday citing an investigation by two rights groups. The US in 2017 froze all the assets and accounts of Israeli national Dan Gertler, a close ally of former DRC president Joseph Kabila, accusing the billionaire of profiting from massive resource corruption in Africa.
