Muller Conrad "Billy" Rautenbach (born in Salisbury, 23 September 1959) is a Zimbabwean businessman. His ventures span transportation, cobalt mining, platinum mining and biofuel production primarily across Africa. The 2022 data leaks from Credit Suisse appeared to confirm allegations (previously linked to American and European sanctions) that Muller used proceeds from a mining deal to support the ZANU-PF regime of dictator Robert Mugabe during the latter's repressive 2008 election campaign in Zimbabwe. From 1999 to 2009, Muller was a fugitive facing fraud and corruption charges in South Africa, the EU, and the U.S. for his role in the violent 2008 Zimbabwean election.
