Descriptions

controls the company Aldabra (gold business)

Belgian Financial Sanctions,

For all these reasons, Alain Goetz is exploiting the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in the DRC through the illicit exploitation and trade of natural resources. Alain Goetz is a businessman, who is the former beneficial owner and former director of African Gold Refinery Ltd, registered in Uganda. He was linked to African Gold Refinery Ltd as an advisor and promoter. Since 2016, African Gold Refinery Ltd has received, purchased, refined and traded illicit gold originating from mines in the DRC that are controlled by non-governmental armed groups, including the Mai-Mai Yakutumba and Raia Mutomboki, which are involved in destabilising activities in South Kivu province. Alain Goetz also retains gold-related interests in the region, in particular through Aldabra, a company he formerly controlled which, together with the Rwandan state-owned company Ngali Mining, invested in the Aldango gold refinery. Alain Goetz retains a financial interest in Aldabra insofar as the claim for damages he filed with the International Centre for Settlement of Trade Disputes is still pending.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Alain Goetz est un homme d’affaires qui est l’ancien bénéficiaire effectif et l’ancien directeur de la société African Gold Refinery Ltd, enregistrée en Ouganda. Il était lié à la société African Gold Refinery Ltd en tant que conseiller et promoteur. Depuis 2016, African Gold Refinery Ltd a reçu, acheté, raffiné et commercialisé de l’or illicite provenant de mines en RDC contrôlées par des groupes armés non gouvernementaux, dont les Maï-Maï Yakutumba et les Raïa Mutomboki, qui sont impliqués dans des activités de déstabilisation dans la province du Sud-Kivu. Alain Goetz conserve également des intérêts liés à l’or dans la région, notamment par l’intermédiaire d’Aldabra, une société qu’il contrôlait auparavant et qui, avec l’entreprise publique rwandaise Ngali Mining, a investi dans la raffinerie d’or d’Aldango. Alain Goetz conserve un intérêt financier dans Aldabra dans la mesure où la demande de dommages et intérêts qu’il a introduite auprès du Centre international pour le règlement des différends commerciaux est toujours pendante. Pour toutes ces raisons, Alain Goetz tire profit du conflit armé, de l’instabilité et de l’insécurité en RDC en se livrant à l’exploitation et au commerce illicites de ressources naturelles.
