The former Minister of Finance, Abdoulaye Daouda Diallo, was questioned at length on Tuesday by investigators from the Criminal Investigation Division (DIC), in the context of an investigation into the management of public finances under the regime of Macky Sall, reports Solo Quotidien. According to the newspaper, Abdoulaye Daouda Diallo arrived in all discretion in the premises of the DIC in Dakar, aboard a prestige vehicle with tinted windows. His audition lasted several hours before he was released at around 7pm. The former president of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) “remains at the disposal of the justice”, specify the investigators cited by Solo Quotidien. This summons is part of a judicial procedure opened after a report of the Court of Auditors, which has revealed irregularities and suspicious financial movements. In addition to Abdoulaye Daouda Diallo, other figures of the former regime are targeted, including Adama Racine Sow, former Treasurer General from 2015 to 2020, and Waly Diouf, who had occupied this post from 2008 to 2012. The investigation of the DIC concerns two particularly sensitive cases. The first concerns the opening of several Dépôts à terme (DAT), financial investments of several tens of billions of CFA francs.
