- U.S. authorities are moving to seize a $7.1 million Manhattan apartment in a corruption probe involving the Republic of Congo's first family.
- Allegations suggest embezzled state funds were used to purchase the apartment at Trump International Hotel & Tower for the daughter of the scandal-plagued president of the Central African country.

- The FACT Coalition advocates for stricter oversight in real estate transactions to combat illicit financial flows and supports a proposal by the Treasury Department for reporting suspicious activities in the real estate sector.
