from a 2019 DB snapshot:

aut-num:        AS327933
as-name:        GROUPE-TELECOM-SPRL

I think the most common way to get out of this DB is to not pay something.

I'd guess that

aut-num:        AS37451
as-name:        CongoTelecom
descr:          CONGO TELECOM

has a relationship with them and AS327933 wanted to prepend 2x [1] to 
their sole provider.....  (AS37451)
