Others

Franck Mwe di Malila is in a legal dispute with his family or 15 siblings. The subject of the legal dispute is the estate of his father, who died on June 7, 2014 and who after his death left his numerous children with a large real estate empire. At a public hearing on February 4, the Kinshasa Gombe Supreme Court ruled only four children, including Franck Mwe di Malila, as legitimate heirs. 15 other potential heirs had appealed against the judgment and appealed against it. The aim is to have this judgment reversed. The quartet is accused of having deceived the court using forged papers. After the family's local council meeting on August 17, 19 children were identified as legitimate heirs, and the four oldest brothers were only provisionally recognized as legitimate heirs and were intended to represent the remaining heirs. They formed a committee which had six months to take an inventory. After this deadline, the quartet no longer felt bound by the agreements and did not agree to any settlement with the rest of the siblings. One of the plaintiffs' attorneys drafted a complaint arguing that the verdict did not contain any part of the plaintiffs.
