By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Senego
Lawyer Juan Branco says a rapporteur at France’s Court of Cassation has recommended examining the case concerning former Senegalese president Macky Sall. He links the proceedings to political violence from 2021 to 2024 and cites a death toll of 76, according to statements reported by Senegaldirect and Senego.
A rapporteur at the French Court of Cassation has reportedly recommended that proceedings concerning former Senegalese president Macky Sall be examined by the investigating chamber, his lawyer Juan Branco announced, according to Senego. The Franco-Spanish lawyer links the case to allegations of crimes against humanity related to political violence in Senegal between 2021 and 2024.
Juan Branco believes such a judicial development could jeopardise Macky Sall’s possible candidacy for the post of secretary-general of the United Nations. The former Senegalese president is said to be seeking the international position, according to Senego.
