Cité Djily Mbaye : mauvaise nouvelle pour un fils de Madiambal Diagne
Eight months after his release from prison, Mouhamed Diagne, son of journalist Madiambal Diagne, sought to have the house arrest order, with the electronic monitoring bracelet attached to his provisional release, lifted. The financial appeals chamber, to which he had appealed, rejected his request on Wednesday, thus following the investigating judge in charge of the case.
Mouhamed Diagne, along with his brother, Serigne Saliou, and his stepmother, Mabintou Diaby, has been charged and remanded in custody for, among other things, criminal conspiracy, fraud involving public funds, and money laundering committed by an organized criminal group, using the advantages afforded by professional activity. The justice system accuses them of playing a role in the Ellipse Projects affair, which implicates Madiambal Diagne, who is located abroad and subject to an international arrest warrant.
On December 4, 2025, after two months of detention, the investigating magistrate granted provisional release to Serigne Diagne. He refused this measure to Mouhamed and Mabintou Diaby.
They will not give up. They will subsequently appeal to the indictment chamber, which grants them provisional release.
But this decision, pronounced on January 5, 2026, is accompanied by a house arrest order, with the wearing of an electronic bracelet, which requires Madiambal Diagne's wife and son to remain at home, respectively, in Yoff Virage and Cité Djily Mbaye.
Mouhamed Diagne had decided to challenge this decision; his request was rejected by the financial indictment chamber. Madiambal Diagne's son "will decide, after consulting his lawyer, whether to appeal the ruling of the second-instance court to the Supreme Court, by way of cassation, or whether to abandon the case and return later before the investigating judge with other arguments in the hope of convincing him," predicts Les Échos, announcing the verdict in its Thursday edition.
