Mouhamed Salam Diop, having learned that Alfred Gomis was trying to acquire a house in Saly, immediately presented itself as the ideal intermediary for the operation.
According to the echoes, he knew how to gain the confidence of the footballer by assuring him that he had reliable connections in the field of real estate. A few weeks later, Mouhamed Salam Diop sent Alfred Gomis a video of a property supposedly on sale at 105 million CFA francs, a support video to better convince him.
Not suspecting anything, the Senegalese international then gave the plump sum to this man he considered a trustworthy partner. We were then in 2023. Since that date, Alfred Gomis has never seen the slightest plot of the property in question. According to information from Les Échos, the player seized the competent authorities after multiple unsuccessful attempts to recover his money or good.
-42 years old, Mouhamed Salam Diop, a business manager invested in particular in transport, was part of the close circle of the footballer. Alfred Gomis devoted total confidence to him, to the point of entrusting him with significant sums for various investments. The echoes report that among these investments were the purchase of two trucks worth 30 million CFA francs each, with the agreement that Diop would be responsible for renting them in order to ensure a return on investment for the player.
But this project quickly turned to the scam. Not only have the profits from the rental never been donated, but in addition, Mouhamed Salam Diop categorically refused to restore the two trucks despite the multiple reminders of his partner. In his partial confessions, relayed by the echoes, Diop would have mentioned financial difficulties to justify his actions, without providing concrete evidence.
Alfred Gomis, feeling that he had been betrayed, then filed a complaint with the Criminal Investigations Division (DIC) for land scam and breach of trust. The damage is estimated at 135 million CFA francs. According to the latest information obtained by the echoes, legal proceedings are underway, and Mouhamed Salam Diop will have to be explained before the prosecution on the accusations brought against him.
