A special court in Senegal has charged four former government ministers from ex-president Macky Sall's cabinet with corruption and embezzlement related to the management of Covid-19 funds – under a wider anti-corruption campaign by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye.
The court on Thursday indicted Moustapha Diop, who was the industrial development minister under Sall. He is accused of misusing some $4 million dollars from the West African nation's fund for combating the Covid-19 pandemic.
