Ndèye Seynabou Ndiaye granted provisional release in Amadou Sall-linked case

Ndèye Seynabou Ndiaye, statutory manager of Woodrose company, linked to Amadou Sall, son of former President Macky Sall, has been granted provisional release under judicial supervision. This decision was made on April 13, 2026, by the Financial Indictment Chamber. Ndiaye is accused of criminal conspiracy, misuse of company assets, money laundering, and complicity in fraud involving public funds, with alleged amounts totaling 31 billion FCFA. The case stems from a 125 billion FCFA report by the National Financial Intelligence Processing Unit. The judicial process has been complex, including a Supreme Court decision on November 6, 2026, that overturned a previous ruling and referred the case to the Constitutional Council regarding an unconstitutionality exception. The Constitutional Council declared the exception admissible on March 17, 2026, and lifted the suspension of proceedings. Following arguments before the Financial Indictment Chamber, Ndiaye was granted provisional release, and the public prosecutor did not appeal the decision. Mouhamadou Ngom, known as Farba Ngom, Mayor of Agnams, remains the only defendant still in detention in this case, as the public prosecutor appealed his initial provisional release. Other co-defendants, including businessman Tahirou Sarr, Abdou Karim Mbacké, and Ibrahima Ba, son of former Prime Minister Amadou Ba, have also obtained provisional release.
