There will be no transparency, no accountability and no justice in the DRC corruption court. Just more smoke and mirrors, there are multiple examples proving this beyond doubt, including many examples of the corruption and corrupt officials being put in jail and released within a week.
Vidiye Tshimanga being a classic example

The Kinshasa/Gombe Peace Court acquitted Félix Tshisekedi's former strategic advisor, vidiye Tshimanga. The information is confirmed to ACTUALITE.CD by his lawyer ClÉment Ilunga. The judgment was issued on Friday, December 23, 2022.
The public prosecutor had requested 3 years of criminal servitude against Vidiye Tshimanga. The latter was prosecuted for influence peddling, corruption and offense to the Head of State, following a video showing him visibly negotiating income from alleged investors by promising them his involvement in obtaining the market.
Vidiye Tshimanga's lawyers considered that the facts alleged against their client being committed abroad, they had raised the decline of jurisdiction of the court seized. The decline of jurisdiction is an exception raised by the parties to demonstrate that the court seized has no material, territorial or personal jurisdiction to hear the case.
As a reminder, Vidiye Tshimanga was placed in pre-trial detention on September 21 by the General Prosecutor's Office at the Kinshasa/Gombe Court of Appeal before obtaining provisional release a few days later.
