The Antwerp World Diamond Center’s (AWDC) Diamond Office has alerted the Kimberley Process (KP) about the discovery of a false KP certificate from Sierra Leone. The forgery, which has been confirmed by Sierra Leone authorities, used a numbering system from 2014 and an incorrect parcel number. In addition, the dotted lines on the certificate do not correspond with the original stone from Sierra Leone.
