US Wants to Seize Luxury NYC Apartment Linked to Ex-Congo Leader.

The US government is attempting to seize a luxury apartment in Manhattan that is allegedly linked to the daughter of the former President of Congo, Denis Sassou Nguesso. The apartment, located in the Trump International Hotel and Tower, was purchased in 2014 for $7.1 million and is believed to have been bought with funds stolen from the Congolese government. US prosecutors have outlined a complex network of banks, individuals, and shell companies that were allegedly used to launder hundreds of millions of dollars from Congo. The apartment, which offers stunning views of the city and Hudson River, has been unoccupied since its purchase. [Extracted from the article]
