Guinée-Bissau : Deux employés de la Sécurité sociale arrêtés pour un présumé détournement de fonds
The investigating judge of the Bissau regional court has ordered the pre-trial detention of two employees of the National Social Security Institute (INSS). They are suspected of involvement in a system of fraud and illegal pension payments, according to the newspaper "O Democrata," which quoted a press release from the public prosecutor's office.
The accused, a 38-year-old woman and a 51-year-old man, are suspected of having committed crimes of forgery and embezzlement in this case, according to the investigating judge's decision of April 5, 2026.
The investigating judge's measure is based on the evidence contained in the request submitted by the Attorney General's office on March 31st.
In this request, the prosecution asked for the application of the preventive detention measure to the two employees, identified as co-perpetrators of the crimes under investigation.
"O Democrata", relying on the prosecutor's statement, emphasizes that this system, put in place in April 2025, is the source of significant financial problems at the National Social Security Institute.
Evidence gathered by the prosecutor's office at the Bissau Regional Court indicates that the suspects implemented a system to fraudulently insert the names of people as beneficiaries of old-age and survivors' pensions into the INSS database, the newspaper reports.
