In July 2007, the British NGO Global Witness published documents on its website that appear to show that the President's son, Denis Christel Sassou Nguesso, may have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of money that may derive from the country's oil sales on shopping sprees in Paris and Dubai.
Heinäkuussa 2007 brittiläinen kansalaisjärjestö Global Witness julkisti tietoja, jotka osoittavat, että Sassou Nguesson poika, Denis Christel, on tuhlannut satoja tuhansia euroja Kongon öljytuloista ostoksilla Pariisissa ja Dubaissa.
