کنگو تماس با سفارت بلژیک را پس از یورش به اموال بروکسل ممنوع کرد

The Democratic Republic of Congo’s presidency has directed its staff to avoid “until further notice” any contact with the Belgian Embassy in Kinshasa as well as with its diplomatic and administrative personnel, according to a circular issued Friday.

The directive came a day after Belgian police raided houses of several relatives of President Felix Tshisekedi in Brussels, as part of an investigation into allegations of money laundering involving Congolese mining revenues.

این دستورالعمل توسط آنتونی نکینزو، رئیس دفتر ریاست جمهوری امضا شد.

“All members of the Office of the President of the Republic, in the exercise of their duties, are requested to refrain, until further notice, from any direct or indirect contact” with the embassy as well as with its diplomatic and administrative staff, the circular reads in part.

در این بخشنامه آمده است که در صورت نیاز به تماس با مقامات بلژیکی، تمامی ارتباطات باید مجاز و از طریق وزارت خارجه انجام شود.

While the circular did not specify the reasons for the decision, the chief of staff warned of appropriate administrative and punitive measures in case of breach of the directive.

It came after a judicial investigation, launched at the federal prosecutor's request, following complaints filed by non-governmental organizations in July 2025.

اما مشخص نیست که آیا دستورالعمل رئیس دفتر ریاست جمهوری با حادثه جستجو مرتبط است یا خیر.
