Businessman Seydou Sarr, known as Tahirou, remains in detention. This Friday, the Financial Indictment Chamber upheld the two bail denial orders issued by the senior financial investigating judge, but for different reasons. However, it accepted the proposed in-kind sureties.

Placed in custody on February 28, 2025, as part of the National Financial Information Processing Unit's (CENTIF) investigation into suspicious transactions worth 125 billion CFA francs, Tahirou Sarr is charged with organized criminal conspiracy, fraud involving public funds, and money laundering worth 91 billion CFA francs. He had offered property titles and checks as collateral for his provisional release, but the investigating judge rejected his request.
