Arrested and extradited on Wednesday, September 18 to Liberia, Claude Pivi’s pool of lawyers held a press conference on this subject.
In front of the media this Friday, the defense of “Coplan” rejects the theory of their client’s escape.
Rather, he speaks of a kidnapping carried out by unknown persons.
“For a few days now, you are no doubt aware that my client Claude Pivi, known as Coplan, following the trial of September 28, on November 4, 2023, he was kidnapped, I weigh my words carefully, kidnapped. He was kidnapped from the Conakry remand center by unknown commandos who went to hold him captive for several months. Following what many have called an escape, he ended up being arrested on Liberian territory,” said Mr. Abdouramane Dabo at the Maison de la Presse in La Minière.
After a contact with his client, which caused the conference to be delayed by almost 3 hours, Mr Dabo spoke of a simple procedure for the extradition of his client to Guinea.
“He was arrested by the Liberian police and since there are State-State procedures and also simplified procedures, they chose a simplified procedure, that is to say police to police and he was brought back to Conakry. When he arrived on site, you saw that there was a lot of speculation. We lawyers tried to get in touch with him. It was complicated since no one wanted to communicate about the situation right away but what is important is that we are the lawyers for all the procedures,” he said, accompanied by Me David Béavogui.
