Blanchiment de capitaux : Une personnalité politique impliquée dans une escroquerie de plus de 10 milliards FCFA
In the 2024 report of the National Financial Information Processing Unit (CENTIF), several suspicious transaction reports from financial institutions highlighted suspicious transactions involving tens of billions of CFA francs. These funds, originating from transfers issued by a public administration, were attributed to an individual referred to in the report as Mr. Alpha, identified as a politically exposed person (PEP).
Analysis of Mr. Alpha's accounts revealed, between 2017 and 2024, cumulative financial transactions of several tens of billions of CFA francs, including transfers, check deposits, savings certificates, term deposits and anonymous bonds, without economic justification.
The CENTIF's referral to the public procurement authorities established that Mr. Alpha had not been awarded any public contracts over the past ten years. Investigations traced the transfer of a large portion of the funds to bank accounts opened by Mr. Alpha in banks in the sub-region, as well as to accounts of real estate companies (SCI) held by his brothers, Messrs. Delta and Gamma. After verification, Mr. Alpha was found to be the ultimate beneficial owner of these structures, which were unknown to the tax authorities.
The investigation highlighted the absence of any documented economic link between the public administration and the beneficiaries, whether physical or moral, justifying these massive transfers. Following the transmission of a detailed report to the Prosecutor of the Financial Judicial Pool, the judicial authorities proceeded to a precautionary seizure of more than 10 billion FCFA from the accounts of the accused.
