The trial of the DR Congo’s former justice minister Constant Mutamba continued on Friday in the absence of the defendant.

Mutamba is accused of embezzling some $20 million intended for the Uganda Victims’ Reparations Fund.

On Monday, he stormed out of the hearing at the Court of Cassation, accusing authorities of violating his rights.

He didn’t return for Friday’s session when his co-defendant Chancard Bukolela took the stand.
