​Urgent: A relative of Farba Ngom reveals the origin of the funds traced by the Centif 

  Le procureur du parquet financier has announced the opening of a judicial information concerning “suspicious transactions with a value estimated provisionally at more than 125 billion CFA francs”. These operations were mentioned in a report by the National Financial Information Processing Unit (Centif). According to Libération, no less than eleven companies and individuals were involved in the events that took place between 2021 and 2023. Farba Ngom would be among them. He would have received transfers made by Tahirou Sarr (not to be confused with le député) during the period covered by the report, between 2021 and 2023. But according to a relative, who confided in the newspaper, the deputy has nothing to reproach himself. If this were not the case, he stressed, according to the same source, he would not have returned from Morocco a week ago. Libération reports that his interlocutor indicated that “Farba Ngom has always assumed his status as a businessman” and assured that “the funds [virés au profit du député et tracés par la Centif] would be regular payments received from Sofico”. Sofico is a financial intermediation company owned by Tahirou Sarr. According to the Centif, it would have received funds from the Treasury and subsequently made transfers for the benefit of companies and individuals, including Farba Ngom. Libération argues that the Financial Prosecutor’s Office considers that “these amounts would be retrocommissions paid to the Deputy in return for his involvement in facilitating markets and payments to Tahirou Sarr”. Le Garde des Sceaux is a saisie en ce sens by the President of the National Assembly.
