Jacques Bartelous (6 March 1924 – 3 September 2013) was a Belgian colonial civil servant who later became the Chef de cabinet of Moïse Tshombe, President of the unrecognized State of Katanga. Bartelous was born in the Brussels municipality of Forest in 1924. He was a volunteer in the Belgian army during the Second World War from December 1944 to October 1945 and received several distinctions for his participation in the war.[3]
Bartelous started his career in the Belgian Congo as a legal attaché in Élisabethville, current-day Lubumbashi, in November 1958. From August 1959 to January 1960, he was the head of the political office at the local affairs service of the Katanga Province. In May and June 1960, the final months of the Belgian Congo before independence, Bartelous was a substitute to the Royal prosecutor (French: substitut du Procureur du roi) in Kindu, capital of Maniema Province.[4]
