CYBERCRIMINALITÉ : La DSC démantèle un vaste réseau d’escroquerie et défère deux individus
The Special Cybercrime Division (DSC) has dismantled a fraud ring. Following some forty complaints filed since 2022, two individuals were charged with organized fraud, money laundering, and identity theft. A total of over338 million CFA francs was stolen. A man with a disability lost 101 million CFA francs in the scheme.
The scammers contacted victims via WhatsApp or email, posing as relatives or former acquaintances. Their trap: offering lucrative "opportunities" to export African medicinal plants and seeds (moringa, argan, etc.) to foreign laboratories.
Once trust was established, the victims made repeated payments via Orange Money, Wave or international transfers.
Technical investigations allowed investigators to trace the network, leading to a successful operation on November 14, 2025. Four individuals were arrested in the Sédhiou region and in Dakar. Evidence was seized, including identity cards of third parties, mobile phones, money transfer cards, and proof of transactions. Two of the suspects confessed to their central role in the network, which extended even abroad.
The investigation continues to track down accomplices who are on the run and to identify all the victims.
