It is a judicial decision which arouses astonishment and indignation in public opinion. Cheikh Guèye, the businessman who had publicly admitted to having bribed the former Minister of Justice Ismaïla Madior Fall, is no longer in detention. According to the newspaper Les Échos, he has recently benefited from a liberté surveillée through the wearing of an electronic bracelet, after having been initially placed under mandat de dépôt. The affair had defrayed the chronicle due to the gravity of the accusations brought by Cheikh Guèye himself, who had acknowledged his involvement in an act of corruption before adding to have recovered his money. A public confession which could have justified, according to several observers, a prolonged preventive detention. But the turn this dossier has taken raises many questions. Why such meekness?
