Mutamba est poursuivi pour un d\u00e9tournement pr\u00e9sum\u00e9 de 19 millions de dollars am\u00e9ricains initialement destin\u00e9s \u00e0 la construction de la prison de Kisangani, dans la province de la Tshopo.<\/p>\n

Ce mercredi matin, juges, procureurs et avocats \u00e9taient pr\u00e9sents au tribunal avant 8h30 (9h30 \u00e0 Kigali), comme pr\u00e9vu pour l\u2019ouverture du proc\u00e8s. Ceci dit, l\u2019absence de l\u2019accus\u00e9 a surpris l\u2019assistance. Interrog\u00e9s par les juges, ses avocats ont d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu\u2019ils en ignoraient la raison.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s environ cinquante minutes d\u2019attente, Constant Mutamba est finalement arriv\u00e9 au tribunal. Apr\u00e8s avoir pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 ses excuses pour son retard, il a expliqu\u00e9 que de forts embouteillages en \u00e9taient la cause. \u00ab Avant tout, je tiens \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter mes excuses. J\u2019ai quitt\u00e9 mon domicile \u00e0 6h30, mais j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 bloqu\u00e9 dans d\u2019immenses embouteillages, c\u2019est pourquoi je ne me suis pas pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 \u00e0 temps \u00bb, a-t-il d\u00e9clar\u00e9 devant la cour.<\/p>\n

Il a ensuite pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 son identit\u00e9 compl\u00e8te, pr\u00e9cisant sa profession, son adresse et les noms de ses parents, avant de laisser la parole \u00e0 ses avocats. Ces derniers ont sollicit\u00e9 un d\u00e9lai suppl\u00e9mentaire afin d\u2019examiner le dossier transmis par le Parquet g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et de pr\u00e9parer la d\u00e9fense de leur client.<\/p>\n

L\u2019ouverture d\u2019une enqu\u00eate \u00e0 son encontre avait \u00e9t\u00e9 lanc\u00e9e en mai 2025 par le procureur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Firmin Mvonde. \u00c0 l\u2019\u00e9poque, Mutamba, encore en poste comme ministre de la Justice, avait ni\u00e9 les accusations, \u00e9voquant un diff\u00e9rend personnel avec le procureur.<\/p>\n

L\u2019Assembl\u00e9e nationale avait n\u00e9anmoins autoris\u00e9 le parquet \u00e0 engager des poursuites, apr\u00e8s que des \u00e9l\u00e9ments de preuve eurent sugg\u00e9r\u00e9 un d\u00e9tournement de fonds publics.<\/p>\n

La cour a acc\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 la requ\u00eate des avocats de l\u2019ancien ministre et a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de reporter l\u2019audience au 23 juillet 2025, \u00e0 10 heures, heure de Kinshasa.<\/p>\n
