​Clédor Sène placed in custody at the Section de recherches and then released: Voici le pourquoi 

  Amadou Clédor Sène was placed in custody at the Colobane Investigation Department last Tuesday. It’s been a night before being released this Wednesday. He is the subject of a complaint by General Birame Diop, Minister of the Armed Forces, who accuses him of defamation and dissemination of false news. L’affaire est relative à la sortie du mis en cause au sujet d’une prétendue transaction foncière involving l’ancien Président Macky Sall et le fils de l’homme d’affaires Gaby Perez, Idan, à propos de la cession d’un terrain de 4000 m2, près du palais de la République. The case is related to the release of the accused in connection with an alleged land transaction involving former President Macky Sall and the son of businessman Gaby Perez, Idan, in connection with the cession of a 4000 m2 plot of land near the Palais de la République. In the incriminated video, which dates from six months ago, Clédor Sène claims that the former head of state would have awarded the parcel in exchange for the construction by the beneficiary of the Directorate of the Gendarmerie housed at the Samba Diéry Diallo Barracks. According to L’Observateur, which reveals the brief interpellation of Sène in its edition of this Thursday, this last went further by adding that “le général Birame Diop [CEMGA at the time of the supposed facts] [avait] connaissance de la transaction foncière et connaîtrait la famille Perez”.. Le ministre des Forces Armées was in tous ses états after having consulted the video in his office, reports le quotidien d’information. “Feeling offended and wishing above all to wash his honor, he lodged a complaint against his accuser at the parquet du tribunal de Dakar.
