Belgian gold refiner Alain Goetz battles for his interests in the Great Lakes region

摘要

Belgian businessman Alain Goetz quit the management of his Ugandan gold refinery a few months ago after being found guilty of money laundering in Belgium. He is also facing accusations of tax evasion in Rwanda, where he is a shareholder in another refinery. He is fighting the case tooth and nail, raising concerns in government circles in Kigali, but also in Kampala and Kinshasa.
