At the end of his trial, he received by two years in prison and a fine of 100,000 CFA francs for fraud and flight. His co -convenue took a firm month and the same fine for concealment.
“To well -born souls, the value does not wait for the number of years,” said Pierre Corneille to explain that talent and innate donations do not need to wait for the years of maturity to express themselves. The case of El. Hi Diene illustrates these words well. Indeed, since the age of 16, the young man has excelled in the art of stealing checks. Even his late father was one of his victims. In addition, the young crash of citizens with wooden checks. His Modus Operandi consists in ordering goods with traders who exhibit their products on social networks. Once the order is placed, he makes his victims believe that he is in a seminar in Diamniadio, and that his son will come to recover the goods.
Arrested for the first time when he was only 16 years old, he was placed under judicial supervision given his young age. Four years later, he reoffended and received a stay. It was last January. Four months after her release from prison, Diene returns to her old habits. The lady nd. LO is one of his last four victims. He stole his phone iPhone Pro Max and sold it to 100,000 CFA francs. Pi Diouf, absent, is also a victim. The defendant picked up his MacBook Pro 2023 computer, which he sold 350,000 CFA francs. According to the lawyer for the civil party, in place of a check, it is a rent receipt that the defendant slipped into an envelope before disappearing with the computer. His client had entered the bank recover money.
Accusations that El Hi Diene has partially refuted. The defendant recognized only the theft of the ND phone. Lo. According to him, it was a certain S. Dione who placed the orders in the name of his father, then sent him to recover the goods. “Pi Diouf gave me the computer in his vehicle and I gave it the envelope given by S. Dione,” defends the defendant. On the other hand, he says he has sold the computer, but ignored the price on the market. For ND’s phone. Lo, he declares that he gave him in pledge to his co-president El Ha Mbengue, prosecuted for concealment. His remarks were confirmed by the alleged receiver, who supports having been only a simple intermediary in the transaction. “He told me that his uncle, based in Canada, gave him the computer. I put him in connection with a friend. I received a commission of 20,000 CFA francs, “said Mbengue.
-Firm prison and fine
For Me Anta Mbaye, the latter is more than a receiver, but a thief like his co -convenue. In his opinion, as long as the court is Clement towards Diene, he will persevere in his delicual acts. This is why she asked the court to heavily condemn the defendants and that they are forced to allocate the sum of 2 million CFA francs to the Diouf. The representative of the prosecution increased in the same direction as the lawyer. He asked the court not to grant “neither understanding nor leniency” to Diène, especially since, he says, “the roar funds are spent in furnished apartments”. “He must be put out of harm by condemning him to 3 years firm,” he insists, before requiring a firm six-month sentence and a fine of 100,000 CFA francs against Mbengue.
Me Abdoulaye Tall ruled out the existence of concealment, arguing that his client has already lost 100,000 CFA francs which he gave in pledge. Assuring alone his defense, El Hi Diene implored the leniency of the court by trying to touch the sensitivity of the judges. “I ask Clémence. I have a family and I ask to be helped to find the right way. 3 years is 1000 days. I deserve a chance even if I caused people wrong, “he said, his voice trembling. His call was not heard because he was sentenced to two years firm and a fine of 100,000 CFA francs for fraud and flight. El Ha Mbengue received a firm month with a fine of 100,000 CFA francs for concealment. The duo must jointly pay the sum of 2 million CFA francs to Sieur Diouf. The lady nd. LO did not claim damages.
