6 Mar 2026 Fleurette Properties LtdCommodities holding Fleurette: 25.8 million EUR strafbeschikking over bribery in Congo €25.8m
According to the Dutch Public Prosecution Service (OM), the top holding company of a mining, oil and gold group, which was based in the Netherlands from 2010 to 2017, participated together with others in bribing public officials of the DR Congo in order to obtain licences for cobalt and copper mines. On 6 March 2026, the OM issued a strafbeschikking (prosecutorial penalty order) imposing a fine of 25.8 million EUR, which Fleurette accepted.
In the commodities sector, licences and concessions are the main target for bribery – holding companies share liability for payments made by their subsidiaries.

Glencore failed to take all reasonable organisational precautions to prevent the bribery of foreign public officials by a business partner in connection with the acquisition of minority stakes in two mining companies in the DR Congo in 2011. The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (Bundesanwaltschaft, BA) issued a summary penalty order (Strafbefehl) imposing a fine of 2 million CHF and a compensatory claim of 150 million USD (amount converted at the ECB rate of 5 August 2024: 152,357,266 USD in total); further matters from 2007–2017 were discontinued.
Companies are also liable for bribery by business partners if they have not taken adequate due diligence and control measures.
