Trafic de faux billets à Kaolack : le film de l’arrestation d’un colonel gambien et de son marabout
More information has emerged regarding the identities of the foreign nationals arrested alongside two Senegalese men on Monday, February 18, in a counterfeit currency trafficking case first reported by Seneweb. They are A. Mané and M. Barro. Libération, which revisits the case, reports that Mané is a colonel in the Gambian army and Barro is his marabout (religious leader). The pair were apprehended at the same time as EA Diallo and S. Ndiaye by officers from the Kaolack Research Section.
Acting on information that S. Ndiaye was to meet with counterfeit money traffickers at a house in Kaolack, investigators set up a surveillance operation. The suspect, who had left Dakar, arrived in the capital of the Saloum region, went to the "Garage Nioro" to meet his guests from The Gambia, and then took them to EA Diallo's house. "With the suspects gathered in the same house, the gendarmes raided the premises," reports Libération.
The newspaper reports that a search of the villa uncovered 700 €100 notes and 810 $100 notes, totaling 100 million CFA francs. Investigators also found the Gambian officer's professional ID card, according to the same source. The source concludes: "According to the latest information, the Kaolack prosecutor's office is expected to relinquish the case to the Financial Judicial Pool (PJF), especially since money laundering is also a factor."
