Rita Djédjé, several individuals, and officials associated with the company Ivoire Challenge Corporation SARL have been referred to the Economic and Financial Criminal Division in a case of alleged fraud involving real estate projects.
According to the National Financial Prosecutor’s Office, around sixty people have filed complaints. Investigators estimate that more than 320 million FCFA was received provisionally from subscribers.
The public prosecutor’s office has announced the opening of a judicial investigation to determine criminal responsibilities and to verify the conditions under which the real estate transactions were marketed.
The individuals involved benefit from the presumption of innocence at this stage of the proceedings. The investigations must notably clarify the destination of the funds and the reality of the commitments made to the complainants.
