The BGFI Bank Group reacts to the suspicion of money laundering and embezzlement of public funds in the DRC. Through a press release, the Bank tried to enlighten national and international opinion without prejudice to the rights of journalists.

A group of NGOs and the media have made public the conclusions of their investigation into documents allegedly leaked from BGFIBank RDC SA and implicating the latter in alleged acts of embezzlement of public funds. In its press release, the BGFIBank group condemns in the strongest terms the acts contrary to law and ethics that may have been committed in the past within its subsidiary BGFIBank RDC SA and of which its employees could possibly have been the perpetrators or accomplices to varying degrees. The BGFIBank Group disapproves of any questionable practices that may have been carried out in the past within BGFIBank RDC SA and that is why, from 2018, the Bank took the necessary reorganization measures, in particular: the restructuring of its capital social; the strengthening of its governance both at the level of the Board of Directors and of General Management; carrying out an internal audit; the strengthening of internal control mechanisms as well as remedial measures; the implementation of new management procedures, to name but a few.
