Guinée : Le magistrat Algassimou Diallo radié pour avoir échangé au téléphone avec un opposant de Doumbouya
The High Council of the Judiciary announced on Thursday, August 20, the dismissal of magistrate Algassimou Diallo. Made famous by his role as prosecutor in the trial of the September 28, 2009 massacre, he had held the position of Advocate General at the Supreme Court since February 2026.
The disciplinary body accuses him of "serious breaches of his professional duties, honor, integrity, and the dignity of the judiciary." The case was initiated on Tuesday by the Minister of Justice, Ibrahima Sory II Tounkara, who suspended the magistrate before referring the matter to the High Council of the Judiciary for a ruling on his fate.
Meeting two days later, the Council ruled in favor of disbarment. Speaking on national television Thursday evening, the Minister of Justice remained vague about the exact nature of the alleged offenses, merely referring to actions that were "not entirely ethical."
A phone conversation with an opponent at the center of the debate
According to national television, the case reportedly involves a telephone conversation between the magistrate and the exiled opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo, a discussion which allegedly concerned "maneuvers aimed at destabilizing Guinea based on ethnic and political considerations."
This version is strongly contested by the opposition. The spokesperson for the UFDG, Cellou Dalein Diallo's party, denounces it as "a grotesque fabrication" and asserts that "no telephone conversation took place between them." Cellou Dalein Diallo himself denies having had this conversation with the magistrate.
His dismissal makes him the second magistrate sanctioned in less than a month. Three weeks earlier, Kaman Gogana Konomou had been removed from the judiciary by presidential decree after denouncing the failure to respect the procedures for appointing magistrates.
