Snoop 9Q-CLK

This B-707 9Q-CLK was attached about 10 days ago by Frans Rootman who has a judgment against the DRC Government for +/- $20 million. You may recall that Rootman also attached and sold the DRC's Falcon 50 9Q-CPK that was standing at Lanseria in 2004.
The 707 has had an interior makeover, apparently under the project management of Bionic Aviation, headed by an Eastern European who goes by the name of BOTA. I wonder if he will get paid for the work since I understand Rootman has watertight evidence that this aircraft belongs to the DRC Government, and not to Kabila personally, as the DRC claims. I also understand that the aircraft will be sold by the Sheriff sometime around the third week of October.
