Specifically, OFAC designated Evariste Boshab and Kalev Mutondo for engaging in actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or institutions in the DRC. Kalev Mutondo (Kalev) has ordered officials to ensure that the DRC’s electoral process favored President Kabila’s Presidential Majority or “MP” political coalition.  He has ordered surveillance of the opposition and supported the neutralization of opposition demonstrations and the extrajudicial arrest and detainment of opposition members, many of whom were reportedly tortured.  Kalev has been accused of pressuring DRC authorities to act outside the scope of the law to thwart the political opposition.  Kalev directed support for President Kabila’s “MP” political coalition using violent intimidation and government resources.  Additionally, Kalev may be linked to the illegal export of minerals from the DRC.
