86 days behind the glacial walls of Rebeuss. It has been nearly three months since Mansour Faye, also mayor of Saint-Louis, lived in the austere corridors of the central prison in Dakar. Placed under a warrant of deposition after his appearance before the Chamber of Accusation of the High Court of Justice, he faces an avalanche of charges: association of criminals, corruption, concussion, embezzlement of public funds, money laundering, forgery and use of forgery, illegal seizure of interests, and even complicity in all these crimes. At the heart of the dossier: the management of 2,7 billion FCFA of funds Force Covid-19, destined to the Programme de résilience économique et sociale. But unlike other former ministers who have been charged and already heard, such as Moustapha Diop, Ndèye Saly Diop Dieng, Ismaïla Madior Fall or Aïssatou Sophie Gladima, Mansour Faye, he has still not been heard. A procedure contested by the defence. For his lawyers, Me El Hadj Amadou Sall and Me El Hadj Diouf, this situation is a judicial anomaly.
