[Exclusif] Fraude au Trésor : Un gérant et son comptable utilisent l'IA pour soutirer près de 3 millions à l'État !
The Kaolack Research Section has dismantled a document fraud scheme allowing two individuals to defraud the public treasury of nearly 3 million CFA francs.
On April 23, 2026, the Kaolack Regional Treasury Director, PVMD, and the Principal Inspector of Taxes and State Property, Head of the Tax Services Center, MN, filed a joint complaint with the Kaolack Research Section. They accused a service provider and the manager of the company Global Commerce of forging a signature on a tax clearance certificate, followed by fraud.
MTD, owner of Global Commerce, and its IT accountant MG had executed a contract on behalf of the Kaffrine town hall, worth 2,999,560 CFA francs, according to exclusive information from Seneweb.
The problem was that their company was not in compliance with the Senegalese tax authorities, a necessary condition for receiving payment from the public treasury.
To circumvent this obstacle, they fraudulently obtained a tax clearance certificate belonging to another company, Ecos, without the owner's knowledge. Using artificial intelligence, they erased all references to Ecos from the document and replaced them with those of Global Commerce, without altering the official signatures. The falsified certificate was then presented to the Treasury, which transferred the funds to Global Commerce's account.
Upon receiving the complaint, the head of the Kaolack Research Section immediately opened an investigation. Thanks to investigative techniques, MTD and MG were arrested in Kaffrine and then taken to Kaolack; their homes were searched in both Kaffrine and Kaolack.
The two defendants readily admit to the facts. They explain that they acted out of necessity, wishing to recover what was owed to them after the contract was completed, with the intention of regularizing their tax situation afterward. They maintain, however, that they did not forge the signatures, having only used AI capabilities to alter the identifying information on the document.
The two plaintiffs, for their part, confirm that they neither signed nor authorized the establishment of the disputed clearances, and maintain their complaint.
At the end of their custody, MTD and MG were presented to the public prosecutor Abass Yaya W., head of the Kaolack prosecutor's office, for the offenses of association of criminals, forgery and use of forged authentic public writing and fraud.
