There was an ongoing examination at several pieces of evidence on the defendant’s identity and his numerous business activities at the public hearing that was held this Friday, May 26 at the military jail of Ndolo, commune of Barumbu.
The chief justice of this court, speaking to the deputy, expressed amazement that every document in the defendant’s file suggests that he is more concerned with Rwanda than the DRC:
The High Military Court expressed outrage over the fact that the defendant claimed to be Congolese yet had a Rwandan soul during the deputy Edouard Mwangachuchu trial.
“You, honorable spirit, are not in the Congo. For instance, when you mine your minerals, instead of applying the knowledge in our country you use Rwandan expertise “.
She also examined the alleged collusion of the MP’s fellow police officer, Chief Commissioner Robert Mushamalirwa, at the same hearing on Friday in an effort to draw a connection between the two defendants in this case.
However, Mwangachuchu’s legal representative argued for his client’s innocence.
The upcoming hearing will show that these accusations are unfounded, according to Thomas Gamakolo.
The two defendants have been coming before this court since March 3 specifically for the following reasons:
Participation in an insurrectionary movement, unlawful possession of weapons and ammunition, and encouraging soldiers to do things against their duty are all offenses.
Additionally, the deputy’s defense asked that his client’s imprisonment be lifted and that he be given temporary release for humanitarian purposes.
This comes after the Édouard Mwangachuchu national deputy trial inquiry was extended by the High Military Court in Kinshasa.After the discussion about the latter’s nationality, she heard Robert Mushamalirwa, the top police commissioner of Goma, speak about his accused collaborator.
The public prosecutor’s officer had introduced MP Mwangachuchu as a member of the Rwandan diaspora in Kinshasa who works for Rwanda’s interests during the presentation of the report on the search of the defendant’s safe. As diplomatic tensions between the DRC and Rwanda continue, Kinshasa has accused Kigali of waging war under the guise of the M23 uprising in the east of the nation.
