RDF introduces new criminal charges against Colonel Tom BYABAGAMBA
Kigali, 09 April 2020
The Military Prosecution will arraign Colonel Tom BYABAGAMBA before military courts for new charges committed while in detention. Col Byabagamba is suspected of criminal activities related to attempt to commit corruption and attempt to escape from a prison.
Suspected criminal activities committed by Colonel Tom BYABAGAMBA and his inside and outside accomplices are being thoroughly investigated.
Col Tom BYABAGAMBA was arrested on August 24, 2014. On 27 December 2019, the Court of Appeal sentenced him to an imprisonment of 15 years and stripping off his military ranks. He was found guilty of inciting insurrection or trouble amongst the population; tarnishing, as a leader, the image of the country or Government; wilfully concealing objects that would facilitate the execution of a crime; and contempt of the national flag.
The RDF reassures the public that justice will take its course and will not tolerate any person who violates the law and RDF ethics and values.
