The Tribunal de Grande Instance Hors Classe de Dakar delivered its verdict on Friday 17 October 2025 in the case against Ms Adama Diop in the DER-FJ. Ms Diop was found guilty of defamation and dissemination of false information and sentenced to two months’ imprisonment with suspended sentence. The constitution de partie civile de la DER-FJ was deemed admissible, and a symbolic franc was allocated to it. It should be recalled that Ms Diop had circulated allegations alleging that the DER-FJ was carrying out fraudulent financing without being able to pay. She then apologized publicly. This process aimed to clarify the facts and to recall the criminal sanctions provided for in case of defamation or dissemination of false news. The DER-FJ continues its mission of supporting entrepreneurial initiatives among women and young people, in the respect of transparency and integrity.
