It did not say how much was owed.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Gertler had no immediate comment regarding the oil blocks.<\/p>\n<p>The blocks, which have not produced any oil, lie across Lake Albert from blocks in Uganda being developed by French major Total and its partner China National Offshore Oil Corporation.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Gertler and more than 30 of his businesses in December 2017 and June 2018, accusing him of leveraging his friendship with former Congo President Joseph Kabila to secure lucrative mining deals.<\/p>\n<p>Gertler denies any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/congo-oil\/update-1-congo-ends-oil-production-sharing-agreements-with-israeli-investor-gertler-idUSL5N2O2058\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KINSHASA (Reuters) &#8211;
