In the same case, the principal defendant had, in turn, brought an action against Mor Guèye, the head of the Sen-Setal and Webcom companies. Sen, his collaborator when she was accountant at l’Aprosi. Accused of suspicious transactions, the latter was arrested by the Saly Investigation Brigade and taken to the Dakar Financial Prosecutor’s Office.
