Bras de fer autour de l'inculpation de Moustapha Diop dans l’affaire Tabaski Ngom : Le parquet financier remporte la bataille
More than nine months after the outbreak of the alleged embezzlement case at the Agency for the Development and Promotion of Industrial Sites (Aprosi), former minister and mayor of Louga, Moustapha Diop, will finally be questioned in the case. The financial prosecutor's office won the legal battle surrounding his indictment. The investigating judge of the first chamber of the Financial Judicial Pool had initially declared himself incompetent, arguing that Moustapha Diop still held ministerial positions at the time of the alleged events. This falls under the jurisdiction of the High Court of Justice.
Dissatisfied, the Attorney General had appealed the indictment of the mayor of Louga. However, on July 30, 2025, the Financial Indictment Chamber of the Dakar Court of Appeal overturned this decision, following the prosecution's recommendation, and ordered the indictment of the former minister. The judge decided to implement the Court of Appeal's recommendations. The investigating magistrate will now proceed with the indictment. This Thursday, October 30, Moustapha Diop's lawyers received their summons for November 6, 2025, regarding his appearance before the presiding judge of the Financial Judicial Pool.
Detained in connection with the Force Covid-19 funds case, the former minister will be taken from prison to be charged and a new arrest warrant is expected to be issued against him.
Tabaski Ngom, a treasury inspector, was remanded in custody in January 2025 for embezzlement amounting to 743 million CFA francs. The accused has always maintained that she acted under the influence and manipulation of Moustapha Diop.
