Ecotras Airlines SPRL
Dr Jean Robert Tshibangu (Mutombo Kabwe) Congo version of 419 Scheme - much more subtle, Democratic Republic of Congo

As a South African businessman I have fallen victim to the "incredible business opportunities" that are now offered to people in this country that would like to explore business in the rest of Africa.

I have met almost 18 months ago in South Africa a businessman from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) - dr Jean Robert Tshibangu that claimed that he owned and operated a DRC based airline by the name Ecotras Airlines SPRL.

On his DRC passport he is indicated as a medical doctor (obstetrician). He claims to have studied in Canada and Europe. He is a pleasant, charismatic person and in a careful, modest way and confided to those around him that he has a special relationship with the current president of the DRC as well as with several well-known international statesmen.

The reason for him being in South Africa was to acquire new aircraft, either by direct purchase or "dry lease".
