Haruna, I read this one through google translate. It is clear from what we've been seeing lately that the Wade administration had its hands in embezzlement. I lost track of the Karim Wade probe. Some politicians never take lessons from what happened in the past. That is very unfortunate. Thanks for sharing.Yero Google Translate...

Un proche de l’ex-président Wade écroué pour détournement de fonds
Un conseiller de l’ex-président sénégalais Abdoulaye Wade a été inculpé et écroué pour "complicité de détournement de deniers publics"
lors de la vente en 2007 d’une licence de téléphonie mobile au groupe
soudanais Sudatel, a appris-t-on jeudi de source judiciaire. Thierno
Ousmane Sy, ancien conseiller en Technologies de l’information et de la
communication (TIC) d’Abdoulaye Wade (2000-2012), a été "écroué"
mercredi soir à Dakar, selon cette source. Dans un communiqué publié en
septembre 2007, le gouvernement sénégalais avait indiqué que le
processus d’attribution, entamé en 2000, avait abouti à "la cession à un
prix de deux cents millions de dollars" de la troisième licence de
téléphonie mobile à ce groupe soudanais. Outre Sudatel, ayant pour
marque Expresso, deux autres sociétés de télécommunications opèrent au
Sénégal : la Sonatel, principale société de télécommunication au Sénégal
et filiale de France Télécom et Millicom Cellular International S.A.
(multinationale basée au Luxembourg), ayant pour marque Tigo. Cette
affaire survient alors que la justice sénégalaise mène des enquêtes au
Sénégal et à l’étranger, en France notamment, visant plusieurs anciens
responsables dont d’ex-ministres de Wade pour enrichissement illicite
présumé. AFP.
