France : Madiambal Diagne placé sous contrôle judiciaire, ses avocats dénoncent une procédure infondée
Senegalese journalist Madiambal Diagne was arrested this Tuesday, October 21, 2025 in France to be served with an arrest warrant issued by the Versailles public prosecutor's office, Seneweb learned from Me El Hadj Amadou Sall.
His lawyers announced that he has been placed under judicial supervision, pending a decision on his possible extradition to Senegal.
Arrest warrant contested by defense
In a public statement, Madiambal Diagne's lawyers, in coordination with their Senegalese colleagues, announced the arrest of their client. Vincent Brengarth, a partner at Bourdon & Associés, intervened alongside him.
The lawyers' group emphasizes that the appeal court decided to release Mr. Diagne, under judicial supervision, taking into account his status as a public figure, a recognized journalist, the owner of a newspaper, and the fact that nothing in the file suggests that he was about to evade extradition proceedings.
A procedure deemed unfounded
According to the defense, the proceedings must now continue. Madiambal Diagne's lawyers remain confident, given the "totally unfounded nature of the accusations contained in the extradition request and its manifest irregularity." They announced that they will present these arguments before the Versailles investigating chamber.
The group of lawyers defending Madiambal Diagne is composed of: Mr. El Hadj Amadou Sall, Mr. Baboucar Cissé, Mr. William Bourdon, Mr. Dior Diagne,
Mr. Antoine Mbengue, Mr. Papa Sène, Mr. Ousmane Thiam, and Mr. Ramatoulaye Bâ
Mr. Arona Basse, Mr. Philippine Vaganay and Mr. Vincent Brengarth.
