>> BANJUL, Nov 14 (AFP) - The Gambian government denied Thursday
>>any knowledge of hordes of gold reportedly stashed on the territory
>>of the tiny west African state by former Zairean dictator Mobutu> Sese
>>Seko.
>> Earlier this week a German television programme claimed to have
>>found at least six tonnes of gold worth 90 million dollars hidden in
>>Gambia for Mobutu, who was ousted from power in May and died in
>>Morocco in September.
>> Responding to the programme, a Banjul government statement said
>>that "the government of the Gambia and in particular the central
>>bank wish to make it abondantly clear that as far as it is
>>concerned, that there is absolutely no evidence that such gold has
>>been deposited in the country's banking system or anywhere else in
>>the Gambia."> It added: "The government of the Gambia and the central
>>bank
>>would be most obliged if anyone can render any information which
>>could lead to any trace of any gold deposit allegedly belonging to
>>deceased president Mobutu."
>> The Democratic Republic of Congo, as Zaire was renamed by
>>Mobutu's successor Laurent-Desire Kabila, said Thursday it would ask
>>Gambia about the gold.
>> Justice Minister Celestin Luanghy told AFP that Kinshasa would
>>begin "legal proceedings with Gambia ... to find the people who
>>transferred the gold to Gambia and the places were the gold is> hidden."
>> "As soon as the (gold) has been discovered we are going to begin
>>a legal process to have it restituted to Congo," Luanghy said.
>> The German ZDF network's investigative programme Kennweichen D
>>said Wednesday that up to 100 kilos (220 pounds) had been shipped to
>>Europe monthly to be sold on the international market with the aid
>>of German and Swiss brokers.
>> The programme showed one of four safes containing gold bars
>>reportedly found in Banjul, and containers of powdered gold hidden
>>under floor tiles some 100 kilometres (65 miles) from the capital.
>> Kennweichen D said that Mobutu's son Kongolo, one-time head of
>>the presidential guard force, was one of the organisers of the
>>secret movement of gold from Zaire to Gambia since 1994.
>> Kongolo Mobutu currently lives in Morocco, where his
>>sister-in-law denied any knowledge of the gold Tuesday. "Where's
>>Gambia?" she asked before concluding, "I have no more to say on the>
>>subject."
>> Mobutu's fortune, accumulated by the systematic looting of his
>>country's wealth during his rule of more than 30 years, has been
>>estimated at several billion dollars, and the new government in the
>>Democratic Republic of Congo has been trying to recover the missing>
>>riches.
