Grounds for designation

Kadet Bertin

Born 1957 in Mama

Special Adviser to Laurent Gbagbo on matters of security, defence and military equipment, and formerly Laurent Gbagbo’s Minister for Defence.

Nephew of Laurent Gbagbo.

Exiled in Ghana. Subject of an international arrest warrant.

Actively involved in incidents of abuse and forced disappearances, and in the funding and arming of the militia and of the ‘Young Patriots’ (COJEP).

Involved in the funding and trafficking of arms and in the circumvention of the embargo.

He was close to western militia and liaised on Gbagbo’s behalf with these groups. Involved in setting up the ‘LIMA force’ death squads.

During his exile in Ghana, he has continued to plot ways to regain power by force. He is calling for Gbagbo’s immediate release.

Because of his financial resources, his familiarity with illegal arms traffickers and his ongoing ties with active militia groups, especially in Liberia, Kadet Bertin poses a very real threat to the security and stability of Côte d’Ivoire.
