Pool judiciaire financier : dispositif inhabituel, Aliou Sall et son épouse face à deux juges d’instruction et un substitut du procureur
The investigation targeting the former mayor of Guédiawaye, Aliou Sall, and his wife Aïssata Sall, has reached a new stage. The couple, who have been under judicial supervision since October 2025, were questioned in detail for an hour and a half this Monday by the Financial Judicial Pool (PJF).
The interrogation took place in an unusual setting, marked by the presence of two investigating judges, Idrissa Diarra and Judge Dièyé, as well as a deputy prosecutor. "These are the two who filed the charges, and they are the same ones who conducted the hearing," explained El Hadji Diouf in the pages of L'Observateur. The lawyer emphasized that the rare presence of a representative from the prosecutor's office at this stage of the investigation demonstrates the critical importance attached to the case, while insisting that the accusation is, in reality, "just hot air."
Standing firm in their position, the Sall couple rejected all charges of criminal conspiracy and money laundering. "Aliou Sall dismantled the Centif report piece by piece. He explained everything. He is absolutely blameless. Everything happened between two private individuals who had their own project. Everything is normal, nothing is irregular," said Mr. Diouf.
According to the defense lawyer, the former director of the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC) addressed the allegations point by point, asserting that the transactions in question were regular private operations. The defense maintains that no offense was committed and describes the case as "empty." Regarding Aïssata Sall, it was reiterated that she holds only 1% of the shares in the company concerned and plays no decision-making role.
The dispute, as reported by the Groupe Futurs Médias newspaper, originated with investigators from the Central Financial Intelligence Unit (CENTIF) who had flagged the acquisition of land in Almadies through the SCI Macoussa real estate company. They highlighted suspicious fund transfers, notably 170 million CFA francs linked to the company Sertem and a 70 million CFA franc loan from a third party. Aliou Sall dismissed these doubts, justifying the amounts with a bank loan from Coris Bank and private transactions that had already been repaid.
“We are heading towards a dismissal of the case, that much is clear, and the return of the 240 million deposited,” declared Mr. Diouf. Despite these proceedings, which he considers unjustified, the brother of outgoing President Macky Sall declined to file a complaint against the head of the Centif, stating that he preferred to “forgive.”
