In April 2025 the Democratic Republic of the Congo's financial intelligence unit stopped $19.9 million leaving a fund created to pay the victims of Uganda's wartime plunder, and the justice minister who signed was convicted twice. This book follows Congolese money from the cobalt mines, the central bank and the public works budget through Kinshasa's banks to Dubai, Brussels, the Netherlands and Beirut, across thirty years of war-economy networks, sold-off state mining stakes, leaked bank records and trials, and asks who was ever made to pay. Covers Constant Mutamba and the FRIVAO reparations fund, Dan Gertler and Fleurette Properties, Francis Selemani Mtwale and BGFIBank RDC, Kassim Tajideen and Congo Futur, Augustin Matata Ponyo and the Bukanga-Lonzo park, and Glencore and Gécamines.
