Fabrication clandestine d’eau en sachets : la BR de Keur Massar démantèle 7 usines et procède à 7 arrestations
The research brigade (BR) of the Keur Massar gendarmerie company shut down seven illegal water sachet production sites. The operation, conducted in three phases between August 12 and 24, resulted in the arrest of seven individuals, all taken into custody for illegally operating water production units, endangering the lives of others, and, for most of them, forgery and use of forged documents.
August 12: Three operators arrested in Keur Massar Nord, Wardini housing estate and Apix
It all started with a tip-off about the presence of illegal drug dealing operations in the Keur Massar Nord, Wardini, and Apix neighborhoods. The gendarmes visited each site to verify the information and found serious violations of health regulations, directly exposing consumers to health risks.
When questioned about their operating licenses, the operators could only produce provisional FRA code certificates—the acronym used in this sector to designate authorization to manufacture and sell products, issued by the Directorate of Domestic Trade—accompanied by health and safety certificates that did not correspond to the premises visited. Furthermore, the addresses on these documents did not match those of the actual facilities.
In view of these irregularities, the investigators placed seals on the premises concerned and proceeded to arrest those responsible: A. BÂ, trader residing in Keur Massar; AO BÂ, trader also residing in Keur Massar; and S. DIALLO, trader residing in Tivaouane Peul.
At the time of the events, A. BÂ and AO BÂ were aged 35 and 43 respectively, while S. DIALLO was 33 years old.
August 19: Three new units neutralized in Safco, Penitentiary and Almadies 2
A week later, similar information led investigators to three other districts: Safco, Penitence and Almadies 2. The same checks revealed the same anomalies: poor sanitary conditions, provisional operating documents not conforming to the actual addresses of the workshops, manufactured products not corresponding to those declared in the FRA presented.
Three people were arrested and taken into custody following this operation: A. DIOP, born on October 11, 1989, an entrepreneur living in the Safco district of Keur Massar; A. DIALLO, a trader residing in Diamniadio; and M. SECK, an entrepreneur residing in Almadies 2. The premises targeted were, as in the previous operation, sealed.
At the time of the events, A. DIOP was 36 years old, A. DIALLO 37 years old, and M. SECK 44 years old.
August 24: A seventh mining site discovered in Petit Mbao
The most recent intervention took place in Petit Mbao, where a tip-off indicated the installation of an unauthorized water production point. On site, the gendarmes made the same observations as in previous operations: the premises did not correspond to the address indicated on the documents, the FRA code was provisional, and the health certificate was unsuitable for the site.
The operator, MA DIALLO, an entrepreneur residing in Petit Mbao, was arrested and taken into custody, while the premises were sealed.
Referral to the prosecutor
Following this series of operations, the seven individuals involved were brought before Prosecutor Saliou Dicko, head of the Pikine-Guédiawaye prosecutor's office, according to Seneweb sources. They were all reportedly remanded in custody.

Presque impossible de trouver des marques connues comme 'Séo, Casamancaise, Kirène...(excusez la pub).
L'état doit vérifier la salubrité de ces bouteilles d'eau.
