The structure specializing in the fight against financial crime publishes its first report. The figures reveal intense judicial activity since its creation.
The Judicial Financial Pool (PJF) of Senegal shows significant results in the fight against economic and financial delinquency, according to a press release published Wednesday by the Prime Minister’s Office.
According to prosecutor El Hadji Alioune Abdoulaye Sylla, the institution has already processed 91 cases, of which 87 have been transmitted to the investigating judges. These investigations led to 162 arrests and led to the seizure of more than 2.5 billion CFA francs.
These figures, communicated by the Government Information and Communication Office (BIC-GOUV), demonstrate the intensification of the fight against financial crime in Senegal.
The Financial Judicial Pool, a structure specializing in economic and financial offenses, replaces the Court for the Repression of Illicit Enrichment, strongly criticized for its inability to guarantee fair trials. Its members were appointed during the Superior Council of the Magistracy, chaired by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye on August 9, 2024.
Among the strategic appointments, El Hadji Alioune Abdoulaye Sylla was appointed Financial Prosecutor, assisted by Ablaye Diouf and Ibrahima Faye.
-A Financial Indictment Chamber and a Financial Appeals Chamber were also created within the Dakar Court of Appeal, chaired respectively by Mamady Diane and Anta Ndiaye Diop.
The establishment of this Financial Pool comes in a context where the demand for transparency is particularly high, following revelations of serious dysfunctions in the management of public affairs under the former regime.
