The former head of the Cadastre Bureau of Guédiawaye, Habib Niang, has been placed in custody by the Division of Criminal Investigations (DIC) for an alleged case of property fraud. Les faits portent sur la vente d’un terrain fictif, for which he has reimbursed the funds to the plaintiff. A gesture deemed insufficient by the parquet de Pikine-Guédiawaye who has de toute même decided to open a judicial procedure. According to Libération, this decision is based on the presumed involvement of Habib Niang in several similar dossiers, already transmitted to justice. The investigation brigade of Keur Massar had also dealt with a similar case, where Niang had made a refund to avoid prosecution. But the multiplication of complaints and the repetition of the same mode of operation have finally alerted the judicial authorities, who see in it a recurrent fraudulent scheme. For the public prosecutor, the reimbursement of the sums does not cancel out the gravity of the acts reproached. Habib Niang is currently detained in the premises of the DIC, pending a possible presentation before the judge. L’enquête suit son cours.. I have to go. With the Rts
