Habib Niang, former head of the Cadastre Bureau of Guédiawaye, situated in the suburb of Dakar, was placed in custody at the Criminal Investigation Division (DIC) in the framework of an investigation for “presumed property fraud”. Despite the restitution of the funds received by the plaintiff for a terrain “en toc”, le procureur de Pikine-Guédiawaye a ordonné sa conduite. This decision follows the existence of other similar dossiers involving the former leader of And suxxali Senegal, which were transmitted to the public prosecutor’s office. According to the newspaper Libération, the former responsible of the Cadastre had already been summoned previously by the Keur Massar research brigade for similar facts, before proceeding with a refund.
He was arrested on suspicion of money laundering.
