Descriptions

Alain Goetz is a businessman, who is the beneficial owner and former director of African Gold Refinery Ltd, registered in Uganda. 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.

— Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes, 2022-12-20

Alain Goetz is therefore exploiting the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in the DRC through the illicit exploitation and trade of natural resources.

— Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes, 2022-12-20

Alain Goetz est un homme d’affaires qui est le bénéficiaire effectif et l’ancien directeur de la société African Gold Refinery Ltd., enregistrée en Ouganda. 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 tire donc profit du conflit armé, de l’instabilité ou de l’insécurité en RDC en se livrant à l’exploitation et au commerce illicites de ressources naturelles.
