A senior member of Congo's opposition was arrested on Sunday on an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant, accusing him of interfering with the war crimes trial of the former presidential candidate Jean-Pierre Bemba.
The arrest of Fidèle Babala Wandu is part of a wider effort to bring Bemba's associates, based in countries across Europe, to account for trying to influence witnesses in his case, said the ICC in a statement.
Bemba is being tried at the ICC for crimes against humanity and war crimes allegedly committing by his rebel group in the Central African Republic during 2002-3.
