Alphonse Charles Wright, head of Guinea’s CRIEF special prosecutor’s office, has threatened legal action against Youssouf Boundou, who made allegations linked to the Nabayagate case. He disputes the strength of the accusations, an initial version of which alleged that more than 200 billion Guinean francs had been misappropriated, according to Mosaiqueguinee.

Alphonse Charles Wright, head of the special prosecutor’s office of Guinea’s Court for the Repression of Economic and Financial Offences (CRIEF), has threatened legal action against people who made or repeated allegations against Youssouf Boundou. Speaking on Télé 24, he said their claims should be substantiated before the courts and referred to obstruction of justice or corruption as possible charges, according to Mosaiqueguinee.

Alphonse Charles Wright also disputed the different versions of the allegations, which initially referred to the misappropriation of more than 200 billion Guinean francs before presenting a request for the return of funds by former president Alpha Condé. He said that criminal proceedings require serious and consistent evidence, material evidence and verifiable documents before any indictment.

The position comes after Charles Wright cleared Zénab Nabaya in the 200 billion case on 12 November 2026. The magistrate now maintains that the allegations concerning the case are not based on sufficiently compelling evidence, according to Mosaiqueguinee.
