Bemba is already on trial at the International Criminal Court on charges that his troops committed atrocities in the CAR when he tried to help the then-president Ange-Felix Patasse to put down a coup attempt in 2002.
Two other Congolese rebel leaders, Germain Katanga and Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui, are also on trial at the ICC.
Ignance Murwanashyaka, one of the Rwandan dissidents suspected of masterminding the 1994 genocide, was also arrested recently by German authorities.
