The judicial procedure initiated at the request of the Minister of Justice, Ousmane Diagne, is proceeding normally. This Friday, the deputies of the 15th legislature adopted, unanimously and without debate, the draft resolution on the establishment of an ad hoc commission. According to the newspaper L’Observateur, le député-maire des Agnam is implicated in a money laundering case involving a provisional amount of more than 125 billion CFA francs, in accordance with the report of the Cellule nationale de traitement des informations financières (CENTIF). To this effect, he is summoned on Tuesday 21 January next to provide explanations. According to the media sources, the elected representative has two options: he can either respond personally to the summons to ensure his defence, or delegate one of his parliamentary colleagues to represent him before the commission. The ad hoc commission shall, after hearing the Member or his representative, draw up a detailed report which shall be submitted for consideration at the next plenary session of the National Assembly. This report will determine whether the request for the waiver of immunity will be accepted or rejected, thus opening the way to a possible judicial prosecution.
Blanchiment présumé: Farba Ngom before the commission on Tuesday
