Oumar Kane placed under judicial supervision in counterfeit currency case

Senegalese professional wrestler Oumar Kane, known as ‘Reug Reug’, has been placed under judicial supervision following charges in a counterfeit currency investigation. The case, referred to as the ‘black money affair’, involves an alleged attempt to circulate counterfeit 100 US dollar bills totaling approximately 800 million CFA francs.

During a hearing at the Dakar High Court, Kane was granted temporary release subject to strict judicial controls, such as travel restrictions. However, two co-defendants, Ahmadou Bamba Ndiaye and Diégane Faye, were remanded in custody. The trio faces charges of criminal conspiracy and attempted counterfeiting of banknotes.

The investigation began following an infiltration operation by the Faidherbe Research Brigade. Authorities have emphasized their commitment to combating financial crime to protect the national economy and ensure the integrity of financial institutions.
