Sonatel : enquête sur un réseau sénégalo-marocain d’escrocs
Investigators from the Guédiawaye central police station are investigating a vast digital fraud network involving Senegalese and Moroccan computer scientists, with ramifications as far away as France.
At the heart of the case, reveals L'Observateur, is B. Diop, 38, accused of having usurped the identity of several victims to fraudulently recover their SIM cards, using false documents provided by a Moroccan accomplice, Mr. Tinidy, based in France.
According to the same source, the modus operandi consisted of accessing mobile payment applications (Orange Money, Wave, etc.), resetting the security codes, and then diverting the funds linked to the victims' bank accounts.
The affair was revealed thanks to the vigilance of a Sonatel agency manager, after several suspicious attempts at different agencies, indicates the daily newspaper of the Futurs Médias Group.
Investigators also suspect the existence of internal complicity within Sonatel, as well as the intervention of relays abroad. The total amount of the damage remains to be determined.
B. Diop is to be presented next Monday to the public prosecutor at the Pikine-Guédiawaye court, adds L'Observateur.
