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.
Inner City Press
will stay on the case
