Guinean special prosecutor Alphonse Charles Wright announced that the prosecution would appeal to the Court of Cassation against the ruling handed down on appeal in the case of former Defence Minister Mohamed Diané, according to Guinéenews. He contests the legal grounds for the decision by the appeals chamber of the Court for the Repression of Economic and Financial Offences (CRIEF).
Alphonse Charles Wright said the appeal did not target Mohamed Diané personally, but the interpretation of the law adopted by the judges. The former minister is at the centre of proceedings for economic and financial offences; the Guinean state secured 300 billion Guinean francs in his trial (Mohamed Diané trial).
