The six police officers named in the case of Mouhamed Diop, alias Taya, were found guilty of the acts of deliberate assault and wounding that led to death without the intention of killing, namely Henri Sagna, Calabanta Gomis, Ibrahima Gaye, Aboubacry Ba, Soulèye Diallo and Selle Guèye. They got three years of prison ferme. They must also pay the sum of 50 million CFA francs in damages and interest. For the lawyers of the civil party, the agents acted in the framework of their work. The lawyers had tried to justify the actions of their clients. According to them, the police acted within the framework of their mission. They had, on the same occasion, swept aside with a reverse hand the position of the maître des poursuites who had maintained that the police should be prosecuted before the criminal chamber for murder. Conducted to Technopole, he would have been beaten before being transported to the Dominique health centre and then transferred to the Dakar Principal Hospital.
