Jean-Pierre Bemba was fortunate enough to have an extremely privileged childhood in one of the world's poorest countries but this has not saved him from ending up on trial for war crimes at the International Criminal Court.

Mr Bemba spent his youth between the Belgian and Congolese capitals - Brussels and Kinshasa - and the small, remote town of Gbadolite in northern Democratic Republic of Congo, known as Versailles in the Jungle.

Gbadolite was the home and last refuge of the late Congolese leader Mobutu Sese Seko.
