A wealthy tea and coffee tycoon, Felicien Kabuga is accused of sponsoring Hutu militias who went on a 100-day rampage to massacre more than 800,000 people starting April 1994.

He was also the owner of a radio station that the militiamen used in inciting violence against the Tutsi minority group and other marginal Hutus who would not kowtow to their demands.

The genocide came to an end when the rebel Tutsi force seized the capital, Kigali. This forced many of the frontline Hutu sponsors to flee to neighbouring countries and Europe.
