Congo opposition leader will return for vote, dismisses arrest warrant

None

PARIS- Congolese opposition leader Moise Katumbi said he will return from Europe to fight presidential elections later this year, dismissing an arrest warrant against him as "fake".

 

The multi-millionaire owner of Congolese football club TP Mazembe said he had now recovered from what he and his supporters have alleged was a police attempt to poison him in May - an accusation rejected by the government.

 

"I'm going to come back even if they have their fake police warrant ... I am a candidate in 2016," Katumbi told Reuters in an interview in a Paris hotel on Monday.
