Abstract
In Rwanda, the name of Félicien Kabuga, arrested on May 16 near Paris after more than twenty years on the run, is known to all. Indicted in 1997 by the ICTR, he is accused of having put his fortune at the service of the genocidal enterprise, in particular by training and arming the interahamwe militias, on the front line in the killings. And if all of his property was seized by the authorities after the genocide, the remains of his heritage are still clearly visible in the streets of Kigali. For the survivors, the announcement of his arrest, followed by the green light from French justice for his transfer to international justice, was experienced as a deliverance, and a first step towards long-awaited justice.
