In an arbitration case, Dan Gertler allegedly used a document that states he gave nearly $380 million in bribes to Congolese officials. The Swiss justice recognizes the embezzlement of which the latter is accused.

This is a mistake that could cost Israeli businessman Dan Gertler dearly. The case was revealed by Bloomberg and Africa Confidential but the basis of the information comes from a ruling by the Swiss Federal Criminal Court, online on the Federal Court's website. The names of companies and persons are replaced by letters A, B, C. Investigators from the British Serious Fraud Office (SFO) have been investigating for years certain mining transactions carried out in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by the Kazakh company ERG. They revealed to Swiss authorities that they had evidence that 379 million bribes had been paid to Congolese officials by a businessman nicknamed C in the judgment. Bloomberg and Africa confidential identified him as Israeli businessman Dan Gertler based on details contained in that ruling but also with other sources.
