The Kinshasa/Gombe High Court sentenced Ngasia Mungi Lyta to two years in prison for using forged documents in the Damseaux estate case. The court also ordered the forged judgment to be destroyed and ordered the defendant to pay the equivalent of $10,000 in Congolese francs in damages, according to the judgment cited by Lepotentiel.
The Court of Appeal of the Kinshasa/Gombe High Court sentenced Ngasia Mungi Lyta, liquidator of the Ngatshie estate, to two years in prison for using forged documents in the Damseaux estate case, Le Potentiel reports. It overturned in its entirety the judgment of the Kinshasa/Gombe Court of Peace, which had acquitted the defendant at first instance.
The public prosecutor and the civil party, represented by Jean-Claude Damseaux, had appealed against the acquittal. The appeal court found that the facts had been established in law and in fact, according to Le Potentiel.
