Détournement de 21,5 millions de FCFA à la BSIC : la DSC cueille un suspect à Saint-Louis
The Special Cybersecurity Division (DSC) dismantled a vast banking fraud scheme following a complaint filed by the Sahel-Saharan Bank for Investment and Commerce (BSIC). The scheme involved suspicious Wallet-to-Bank (W2B) transactions that allowed an individual to embezzle over 21.5 million FCFA.
Investigators have established that between December 1, 2024 and January 29, 2026, the accused, identified by the initials SD, allegedly carried out 159 fraudulent transactions for a total amount of 21,551,275 FCFA according to Seneweb sources.
The scheme involved fraudulently crediting a bank account before withdrawing the funds, primarily through a money transfer application, but also by check. In particular, a check for 3 million FCFA was cashed in 2025 by someone named SS at a bank branch.
On March 23, 2026, DSC officers traveled to Saint-Louis, where the suspect was arrested at his home in the Espagne neighborhood. During questioning, he admitted to being the account holder while denying the accusations.
The analysis of technical and financial data nevertheless made it possible to trace a significant flow of transactions across his various accounts.
The investigation reveals that the embezzled funds were allegedly used to acquire plots of land in Saint-Louis, to start construction work, and for various financial operations.
The accused was brought before the prosecutor of the High Court of Dakar (TGIHCD).
