Diodio Glow Skin case: well-known businessman under investigation

By , based on SeneNews

Map: Senegal

According to L’Observateur, a well-known businessman is now in the sights of investigators in the Diodio Glow Skin case. The newspaper says investigators have identified him.

The daily L’Observateur reports, in its Tuesday edition, that Senegalese businessman Elimane Lam is also targeted by the legal proceedings opened in the Diodio Glow Skin case, a cyber-harassment case. He was due to be questioned on Tuesday by investigators of the Special Cybersecurity Division (DSC), but his questioning could be compromised: he is reportedly abroad, and his return is expected over the weekend.

Investigators are seeking to determine the degree of involvement of those named in the case, several of whom have already been summoned and questioned. The Diodio Glow Skin case had already widened in October to include alleged accomplices.
