'Gold Smuggler' crew arrested in DRC
Does anyone have any more information on what has happened to the U.S. crew arrested in the DRC who are alleged to have been smuggling gold between Goma and Abuja?
Quote from BBC Website:
North Kivu governor Julien Paluku said four of those arrested - two Nigerians, one US citizen and one from France - had flown to the regional capital, Goma, from Nigeria in order to buy gold.
The crew of three US citizens and one Nigerian were also in detention, he said.
Their US-registered plane has been impounded.
