Former Minister of Transport in Burkina Faso, Vincent Dabilgou who was recently sentenced to 11 years in prison for misappropriation of public funds estimated at €1.7 million has been sighted in a trending video being given some hot lashes in public.
Mr. Dabilgou served as minister from 2018 to 2022 under the presidency of Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, who was overthrown by a putsch in January 2022.
But in 2023, the Ouagadougou High Court found Dabilgou guilty of embezzlement of public funds, involving 1.12 billion FCFA (around 1.7 million euros), ‘illicit enrichment’, ‘money laundering’ and ‘concealed financing of a political party’, notably the New Time for Democracy (NTD),a party he chaired.
He was requested to pay a fine of 3.3 billion FCFA (4.7 million euros) and the activities of his party have been suspended.
