L’incroyable arnaque du "faiseur de milliardaires" : Un célèbre patron délesté de 550 millions FCFA
A sensational case involving money laundering, quackery, and fraud totaling 550 million CFA francs has landed at the Saly Research Brigade (BR), part of the Mbour gendarmerie company. As part of the investigation, a suspect was arrested and brought before Prosecutor Augustin Yakhar Faye, head of the Mbour prosecutor's office, on Monday, according to exclusive information obtained by Seneweb. The case could even be transferred to the Financial Judicial Pool in Dakar.
TikTok, Dubai, and mystical promises
According to the swift investigation conducted by the Mbour gendarmerie, through its Saly Research Brigade, it all began in August 2024, when the marabout B. Samb — who also presents himself as a vehicle seller and is very well known on the social network TikTok thanks to his posts from upscale locations in Dubai — approached L. Diop, head of a famous company.
The charlatan convinced him that he could transform him into a billionaire through his mystical abilities, thus managing to persuade this businessman, well-known to numerous authorities. Hoping to be dealing with a miracle worker, L. Diop reportedly took mystical baths and drank a magic potion, following the recommendations of his marabout.
Under the influence, he empties his accounts
From that day forward, the man, who aspired to become a billionaire, allegedly lost all judgment, unwittingly complying with B. Samb's every request. He began handing over large sums of money, even taking out bank loans to satisfy his marabout's demands. In total, the plaintiff claims to have lost 550 million CFA francs.
After pocketing these colossal sums, B. Samb allegedly fled to Dubai, where he lived a life of luxury, continuing to post videos filmed in upscale locations on TikTok. Having regained his composure, L. Diop filed a lawsuit, providing supporting evidence. Transaction records were added to the file submitted to the prosecutor in Mbour. Two witnesses, whose statements were recorded, also confirmed the money transfers.
Hunted down, arrested, brought before a judge
Having been informed of the suspect's return to the country, plainclothes officers from the Saly Research Brigade first tracked him down in Touba. B. Samb, a resident of Almadies, was eventually arrested in Dakar before being taken to Mbour. During questioning, he admitted to the crimes, but disputed the amount of 550 million CFA francs, which he considered exaggerated.
Held in police custody since April 16 for quackery, fraud involving 550,000,000 CFA francs, and money laundering, B. Samb was brought before the Mbour High Court on Monday, April 20. His case may, however, be transferred to the Financial Judicial Unit in Dakar.
