The Church, Body of Christ, Faces the Risk of Money Laundering: The role of the state in regulating churches and denominational associations

In a Congolese context marked by strong religiosity and a largely informal economy, churches occupy a central place in social, spiritual and political life. Yet this position exposes them to growing risks of money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT). This book provides a lucid, well-documented analysis of these vulnerabilities, while offering concrete avenues for more ethical, transparent ecclesial governance in line with national and international standards. Through a theological, legal and practical approach, the author calls on the Church to fully embody its prophetic mission in a world in search of justice and truth. An essential work for religious leaders, public decision-makers and all those who believe in the integrity of the Church and its commitment to the common good.
