The Land Use Surveillance and Control Directorate (DSCOS) of Rufisque arrested I. Sall for land fraud involving 16 million CFA francs in the illegal sale of land.

The Rufisque DSCOS arrested I. Sall, a municipal official from Tivaouane-Peulh-Niague, for involvement in a vast network of fraudulent land sales. He was known for his fraudulent activities in the land sector. His method consisted of selling plots belonging to others without any legal administrative documents.

I. Sall used his in-depth knowledge of the subdivisions and vacant land in the area to identify his targets. He specifically targeted land that had been unoccupied for a long time and fraudulently sold it to bona fide buyers.

A well-established operating procedure

The investigation conducted by the DSCOS revealed that I. Sall, without any authorization or valid administrative document, proceeded to the subdivision of sites legally allocated to citizens and resold these plots.

This practice had claimed many victims who found themselves unable to peacefully enjoy their acquisitions, often discovering too late that they had been duped.

The decisive intervention of the DSCOS

I. Sall's repeated actions had been the subject of several complaints and denunciations to the competent authorities. Thus, the commander of the DSCOS of Rufisqueen made it an absolute priority, demonstrating the commitment of the land control services to protecting citizens' rights.

It was by methodically exploiting the information made available to him that the head of the DSCOS discovered the extent of the fraudulent actions of the municipal agent in question. The investigation made it possible to gather the evidence necessary to reveal the truth. This led to the arrest of I. Sall. The effectiveness of this intervention testifies to the professionalism of the DSCOS services and their determination to combat all forms of land fraud.

The Confessions of I. Sall

Faced with a fait accompli and confronted with the overwhelming evidence gathered against him, municipal official I. Sall finally admitted the facts with which he was charged. And despite his repentance, he was brought before the Rufisque High Court.

Considerable harm

The amount of damage caused by his fraudulent actions amounts to 16 million CFA francs, to which must be added the diverted residential land.

According to sources close to the prosecution contacted by Seneweb, I. Sall was sent to prison, thus marking the end of his fraudulent actions which caused so much harm to many families seeking housing.
