Democratic Republic of Congo Lawsuit Sealed Now US Moves to Protect As UN Bans Press

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 8 –  A company called FS Hemisphere Associates LLC is seeking to get money from the Democratic Republic of the Congo - all under seal. 

  Late on August 10 it filed in the docket of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which Inner City Press covers daily while banned from the UN by SG Antonio Guterres amid its questions of his cover up of UN rapes in DRC, a letter seeking a "hearing on its ex parte application."  

All of its other filings were sealed.

  Inner City Press said it would stay on the case, and it has. Now on November 8, DOJ have filed a letter to the assigned district Judge J. Paul Oekten that the US intends to file a statement of interest to "preclude any attempt by plaintiff to attach or execute on a bank account used by defendant for the DRC's UN Mission, to proteect bank accounts of the DRC UN Mission accredited diplomats and immunize a mission from discovery.

MRL at UN,
                        banned

Inner City Press will stay on the case
