France: A Senegalese man poses as a professional footballer; fifteen victims come forward

Mr. Ndiaye is in serious trouble. This 32-year-old Senegalese man, living in France, is accused of fraud, extortion, and assault. According to Les Échos, citing Le Parisien, he allegedly seduced several women by posing as a professional footballer about to join a club in Qatar, with a reported salary of €45,000 per month, or 29.5 million CFA francs. The accused reportedly showcased a lavish lifestyle, notably by frequenting upscale Parisian restaurants, to gain the trust of his alleged victims.

Loans of money followed by serious accusations

To obtain money, Ndiaye allegedly used various pretexts. He reportedly told a woman named Anne that her half-sister needed urgent financial assistance and that her own funds were frozen in Germany. To convince her, he allegedly showed her a bank account with a balance of €120,000 (nearly 79 million CFA francs) before asking her for €5,000 (over 3 million CFA francs). Anne claims to have given him this money and never received it back.

The case reportedly took a more serious turn when the victim demanded her money back. She claims to have suffered physical and psychological abuse, death threats, and an ambush. She alleges, among other things, that she had a broken nose and was unable to work for several days.

The accused denies the charges

The case is escalating. Around fifteen women and two men have reportedly decided to take legal action.

For his part, Moulay Ndiaye rejects the accusations of fraud. He claims that the people involved lent him money of their own free will. "I ask them for money, they lend it to me. They do it all on their own, with their own hands, using their own phones, and of their own free will," he maintains.

He does, however, admit to having spent the money he received with the women in question, particularly in restaurants and nightclubs.
