Shell Companies and Sanctions: Tracking Dan Gertler’s Hidden Trail | Avoiding Sanctions

In 2017, U.S. authorities sanctioned Israeli billionaire Dan Gertler, accusing him of acting as a financial proxy for then-Congolese President Joseph Kabila—allegedly funneling profits from Congo’s vast mining sector into private networks benefiting the regime. Gertler denied the claims, but the sanctions were just the beginning of a far deeper story. This episode of Middlemen: Avoiding Sanctions investigates how Gertler continued to operate through a labyrinth of anonymous shell companies, hidden associates, and offshore jurisdictions—transferring millions out of the DRC despite international scrutiny. With leaked banking documents and expert insights, the investigation follows the money trail to Israel and beyond. Journalist and researcher Hala Mahdi examine the critical role of civil society and investigative groups like Congo Is Not For Sale in exposing opaque deals and systemic corruption, and how transparency advocates are pushing back against powerful actors who exploit global blind spots.
