Affaire de l’usine de fer Buildmart : La chambre d’accusation confirme le contrôle judiciaire pour les deux Indiens et le commerçant sénégalais
The Indictment Chamber of the Dakar Court of Appeal ruled on Monday in the case of the Buildmart iron factory. This ruling stemmed from the decision of the investigating judge of the 2nd chamber of the Pikine-Guédiawaye High Court. On November 20, 2025, the investigating magistrate had indicted the owner of the Buildmart factory, Ajay Giri, his production manager, and the merchant Abdoulaye Fall for endangering the lives of others and engaging in illegal business practices.
However, the investigating judge issued an order contrary to the public prosecutor's request for a detention order. The magistrate thus placed the accused under judicial supervision. The public prosecutor's office appealed.
The case was argued before the indictment chamber, which ultimately upheld the judicial control order.
In this case, an inspection was carried out by the departmental trade service on a batch of iron belonging to the merchant Abdoulaye Fall. The agents found that the declared diameter of the iron was less than the standard. The merchant agreed to pay a fine.
The head of the department then informed the prosecutor, who ordered the arrest of the owner of the Buildmart factory, its production manager and the trader for endangering the lives of others and illegal business practices.
After their custody, the three accused were brought before the prosecutor's office, which requested the opening of a judicial investigation and sought a warrant for their detention.
After several hearings before the prosecutor, the investigating magistrate accepted the arguments of their lawyers, Takha Cissé, El Hadj Diouf, and Daouda Ka, who contested the charges, arguing that no victims had been identified in the case. They also maintained that the Metrology Directorate had acknowledged that this type of iron is used solely as a fastening wire.
The defense also pointed out that the recently installed Buildmart factory produces quality iron, which was confirmed by the administrative authorities.
Based on Law No. 2021-25 of April 12, 2021 relating to prices and consumer protection, the defense had asked the judge not to follow the prosecution's requests, highlighting doubts about the materiality and attribution of the offenses.

Si c'étaient des Sénégalais qui avaient commis ce délit pour ne pas dire crime en Inde, ils ne viendraient pas chères leurs peaux .
