BRUSSELS<\/span><\/span>\u00a0The federal prosecutor confirms that it has asked ‘about fifteen’ parents whether an expert is allowed to take a DNA sample from their Congolese adoptive child.\u00a0The registered letters have been sent.\u00a0The court has strong indications that the children still have biological parents in their home country who unsuspectingly sent their child at ‘holiday camp’ in Kinshasa from the Congolese countryside.\u00a0There they would have ended up in the orphanage Tumaini.\u00a0Then they would have been put on a plane to Belgium and were here taken care of by parents who had unsuspectingly gone through a years-long adoption procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The federal prosecutor’s office now wants a definitive answer about the adopted adoption procedures through the orphanage, which has since been closed.\u00a0It concerns all adopted Congolese children since November 2013. Have all those children been kidnapped by means of a fraudulent system, led by the Belgian-Congolese Julienne Mpemba (41) from Namur?\u00a0The dish has suspicions.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2017 all the harrowing stories of identity fraud came to light\u00a0<\/span>(5 May 2017)<\/span><\/i>\u00a0.\u00a0In at least four cases, research shows that a Congolese child is currently in a Belgian adoptive family, while the real parents are still alive.\u00a0Three girls – Samira, Zakiatu and Ja\u00eblle – were given different names and other birth dates at the time, while their biological parents live in Gemena, 850 kilometers from Kinshasa.\u00a0Jacques was also lured out of his birth house, after which a Belgian adoptive family was sought in vain.\u00a0That family was never found.\u00a0No one knows where the boy is now.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Belgian research has been running for a year and a half.\u00a0A rogatory committee went to Kinshasa last year, where they found a hastily closed orphanage.\u00a0The people involved were found to be tipped.\u00a0Investigators also interviewed the real parents, who still want nothing more than to have their children return one day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pivotal figure Julienne Mpemba, who had been in prison for weeks and officially suspected of trafficking in human beings with child victims, says in old interviews that she gave some fifty Congolese children ‘a new future in Belgium’.\u00a0Money?\u00a0‘Certainly not.’\u00a0Her lawyer, Georges Balon-Perin, did not answer his phone yesterday.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Fixer’ released<\/span><\/p>\n

Last weekend, Diemerci Kitambo was released in Kinshasa.\u00a0He acted as a ‘fixer’ at the time, the man who, on behalf of the ‘Plan\u00e8te Junior’ organization, persuaded the parents to give their child a ‘holiday camp’.\u00a0The man has always maintained his innocence and says he has acted in good faith.\u00a0Everything now indicates that he himself was led astray by Mpemba and her entourage.<\/span><\/p>\n

The children whose identity fraud has been proven are still in our country.\u00a0They grow up in Belgian families until further notice.\u00a0The adoptions can be undone, but a family judge can also decide that it is in everyone’s interest that the child stays here.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the sending of registered mail, the court has now made a division between real adoption and suspected abduction.\u00a0According to our information, certain parents have already responded positively to the demand for a DNA sample.\u00a0Others would then again be reluctant to such a decrease.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It is a terrible situation,” says Flemish parliament member Lorin Parys (N-VA), who has been following the case for years.\u00a0“Those Belgian parents have been working for years to get their adoption completed.\u00a0Then everything turns out to be like a house of cards.\u00a0You are sitting with a legal truth, but above all a biological reality.\u00a0How do you explain something to those children?\u00a0To keep quiet about the pain that the real parents in the Congo must feel every day. ‘<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
