His son, Marcel Malanga was among the convicted Americans. He told the court his father threatened to kill him unless he participated. He also said he went to the Congo to visit his father, who he hadn’t seen in years.
Malanga’s mother, Brittney Sawyer previously posted on Facebook that he was “innocent” and “just following his father.”
The second convicted American is Tyler Thompson, who played high school football with Malanga.
The third American, Benjamin Zalman-Polun, was a business associate of Christian Malanga.
All three were found guilty of several charges including criminal conspiracy and terrorism in ruling a live TV.
The U.S. State Department said it is aware of the ruling. The U.S. Embassy in Congo has not commented.
