This news article is about a legal dispute between Apple Inc. and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The DRC has accused Apple of using minerals from its conflict-affected regions in its supply chain, which it says violates international law. The article states that Apple has denied these claims and has stated that none of its suppliers are using minerals from conflict zones. However, the DRC is now seeking criminal charges against Apple in France and Belgium for allegedly participating in a global conspiracy to launder conflict minerals. The DRC's lawyer claims that Apple is using "stolen" minerals and engaging in fraudulent business practices in order to maintain a clean supply chain for its products. The article also mentions that Apple has been accused of hiding war crimes and polluting the environment with conflict minerals. Apple has not commented on these allegations, but the company has stated that it will cooperate fully with any legal proceedings against it.
