The verdict fell on Friday, March 30, in the case of the cash advance of the mayor of the Senegalese capital linking Mayor Khalifa Ababacar Sall to the State of Senegal. Khalifa Sall has just been sentenced to a firm 5 years, accompanied by a fine of 5 million FCFA.
He shares his sentence with his administrative and financial director (Daf), Mbaye Touré. At the same time, other co-defendants Amadou Mokhtar Diop, Yatma Diao, and Fatou Traore were sentenced respectively to 2 years in prison, one suspended for the first two cities and six months for the only woman in the group. As for the two collectors of the City of Dakar, they were simply relaxed by the court.
As a reminder, Khalifa Sal and his co-defendants were prosecuted for the offenses of forgery and forgery of administrative documents, criminal conspiracy, fraud involving public funds, embezzlement of public funds and money laundering. Eventually only the facts of scam were held against the two convicts.
