Senegal financial crime investigations

Overview

The Pool judiciaire financier (PJF) in Senegal reported significant activity during its first two years of operation. Financial prosecutor El Hadji Alioune Abdoulaye Sylla stated that the institution has processed 750 dossiers involving corruption, embezzlement, and money laundering, resulting in 1,391 arrests and transfers.

Investigations were prompted by reports from oversight bodies including CENTIF, OFNAC, and the Inspection générale d’État. Currently, 610 cases remain pending before investigative chambers. The PJF has seized or secured bail amounts estimated between 35 billion and nearly 100 billion CFA francs. The prosecutor emphasized that investigations are based on criminal facts rather than the social or political status of the individuals involved.
