The judgment in the Ousmane Sonko / Adji Sarr case on June 1, 2023 at the Criminal Chamber of Dakar: the opponent is sentenced to two years in prison for youth corruption. His trial was held in his absence on May 23. He did not show up at the courthouse. The prosecution had requested 10 years of criminal imprisonment for rape or 5 years in prison for the offense of “youth corruption”. Since the start of this long procedure in February 2021, Ousmane Sonko has always denounced a “plot” to exclude him from the presidential election scheduled for February 2024. An imposing security device has been deployed in the Senegalese capital.
