Tonnes of gold worth billions of dollars are smuggled from the Democratic Republic of Congo through DR Congo’s eastern border and into the global, a United Nations report has found. The group estimated that at least 1.1 tonnes of gold were smuggled out of Ituri province alone in 2019. That would have earned the government up to $1.88 million in taxes had it been legally exported.
