The National Financial Intelligence Unit (Centif) has revealed in its 2024 report serious suspicions of money laundering, abuse of social goods, conflicts of interest and tax fraud targeting the Premier Bet Sénégal company and its directors, including Joris Dutel and Franck Attal, shareholder via the Editec group. According to the information reported by the journal Libération, significant financial transfers, amounting to 1,946 billion CFA francs, have been made to an account located in Europe. These suspicious movements would coincide with a period during which PremierBet proceeded to the gradual closure of its activities in Senegal, leading to the dismissal of numerous employees. The Senegalese justice, through the parquet financier, has opened an investigation. The manager of PremierBet Sénégal, Joris Dutel, already put under investigation for tax fraud in another case, would be targeted, as would the company Editec and its head Franck Attal, also a shareholder of PremierBet. The case has been entrusted to a judge of the Third Finance Cabinet.
