Last Saturday, July 23, officers of the judicial police questioned all day Idriss Youssouf Boy, the former private secretary of the president of the transitional military council, Mahamat Taher Issa, the former deputy director general of the company of hydrocarbons of Chad , and Mamadou Bass, the managing director of Orabank, a credit institution based in Chad.
The three personalities are involved in a financial scandal of several billion CFA francs diverted to the company of hydrocarbons of Chad. Prosecuted for illicit enrichment, influence peddling and abuse of office, Idriss Youssouf Boy was brought before the Supreme Court, the highest court in the country because of his status, which is worth the rank of minister.
This Sunday, July 24, he was presented to the court which notified him of the charges against him. Idriss Youssouf Boy pleaded not guilty.
In two days, Friday July 29, the former collaborator of Mahamat Idriss Déby has another appointment with the judges. According to specialists in Chadian justice, procedural flaws could plead in his favor, at least for provisional release.
