DIG/ More than 7 billion francs seized from Ian Ghislain Ngoulou, 75 billion francs supposedly discovered at the Océni sons, 200 billion francs in a Syvia Bongo villa according to the French daily Libération…

A hell of a lot of money about which public opinion – especially the most precarious households – is questioning on its destination and today demands full transparency on the exact amount of the sums recovered among those close to deposed president Ali Bongo Ondimba.

The Prime Minister, Raymond Ndong Sima, could not escape this question during the press conference he hosted on September 27, 2023 at the Arambo building.

Very skillful and prudent, the Head of the Transitional Government, without giving details on the amount of seizures, gave some small indications.

“Where are the sums?” What I understand is that the monies that were found are currently being placed in an escrow account.

But he not only has these sums, there are also goods that have been seized, notably cars…For the moment, everything is stored.

So, what do we do with these goods? As much as money can sleep, it is also risky to leave vehicles and equipment as they are.

During Operation Scorpion, we had a batch of vehicles under escrow account which, 2 years later, completely deteriorated.

Which was clearly an aberration (…) he indicated.
