The Ministry of the Interior announced on Friday that the heads of the Criminal Investigation Division (DIC) and the Special Commissariat of the International Airport Blaise Diagne had been relieved of their duties. This decision is taken ” pending the outcome of the internal inquiry opened to determine the conditions of Madiambal Diagne’s release ” and ” to determine, if necessary, all the responsibilities “. The Ministry of the Interior and Public Security announced, in a communiqué made public on Friday, that Mr Madiambal DIAGNE, then placed “sous le coup d’un avis de recherche et d’interpellation et d’une interdiction de sortie du territoire délivrés par une autorité judiciaire compétente”, “has been able to leave the country in circumstances not yet elucidated”, ‘être présenté, dans la nuit du 23 au 24 septembre 2025, aux formalités de départ à l’Aéroport international Blaise Diagne..’ (to be presented, in the night from 23 to 24 September 2025, to the formalities of departure at the international airport Blaise Diagne..), which is located in the city of Paris, France. Faced with this fact, the ministère assures that “instructions had been given for increased vigilance at all the security levels concerned, since the taking of the opposition measure”. Nevertheless, in order to shed light on the circumstances of the departure from the territory and to “eventually locate all the responsibilities”, an internal investigation has been opened. As a precautionary measure, the Ministry has “decided to relieve from their duties the heads of the Criminal Investigation Division and the Special Commissariat of the International Airport Blaise Diagne”. The communiqué states that “if irregularities or complicity are established, appropriate sanctions will be taken”. Le texte informe par ailleurs avoir “received, ce jour, notification of an international warrant d’arrêt décerné contre le fugitif par le Président du Collège des juges d’instruction du pool judiciaire financier” (The text also informs us that we have “received, today, notification of an international warrant d’arrêt issued against the fugitive by the President of the College of Investigating Judges of the Judicial Financial Pool”). The authorities indicate that they will cooperate with the authorities concerned for the implementation of this mandate. The Ministry concluded its communiqué by reiterating its attachment to republican principles: it “takes the opportunity to reiterate its attachment to respect for judicial decisions, transparency and the presumption of innocence”. The discovery of this leak occurred in a tense judicial and political climate, and raised numerous questions about the control procedures at the points of exit from the territory.
