Guinea anti‑corruption probe detains former OGP chief and CNT officials

On 9 July 2026 the Guinean Court of Repression of Economic and Financial Offences (CRIEF) placed former director‑general of the Office Guinean of Advertising (OGP), Aladji Cellou Camara, under a mandat de dépôt and in custody at the Maison centrale in Conakry. He is accused of embezzlement of public funds, corruption and illicit enrichment. The detention also includes three other senior OGP managers – Mariama Dalanda Diallo, Djely Mady Cissoko and Sékou Camara – who join former deputy director Jean‑Marie Soriba Coumbassa, arrested a week earlier on similar charges.

A separate preliminary inquiry opened by CRIEF on 7 July 2026 targets former senior officials of the now‑defunct National Council of the Parliament (CNT). Prosecutors are investigating the alleged diversion of about 43 billion Guinean francs that were meant for separation premiums and special bonuses for parliamentary staff. Those under scrutiny include former CNT secretary‑general Aboubacar Camara and other departmental heads. The investigations cite suspected public‑fund misappropriation, money‑laundering, illicit enrichment and falsification of documents.

Both probes form part of a broader anti‑corruption drive in Guinea, focusing on the management of public monies within state‑linked institutions.
