Émigré escroqué de 33 millions F CFA : La BR de Keur Massar démantèle une arnaque aux parcelles fictives

A Senegalese national living abroad was the victim of a major fraud involving 33,050,000 CFA francs. In this case, the Keur Massar investigation brigade arrested D. Dia, a self-proclaimed entrepreneur, on August 11, 2025, for land fraud and breach of trust.

The case began with a meeting between BS Koundoul, an emigrant living in Guédiawaye during his stays in Senegal, and D. Dia, a supposed real estate entrepreneur, who had offered him a plot of land located in Diamniadio. After a carefully orchestrated visit to the site, D. Dia sold him the plot.

A phantom construction to bait the victim

Before BS Koundoul's return abroad, the two men had agreed that D. Dia would be responsible for building on the acquired plot of land, for 14,000,000 CFA francs. To secure this operation, the emigrant had even given a land title to the Zac Mbao to the pseudo-entrepreneur, who allegedly ran a foundation.

To maintain the illusion and "better trap the victim," D. Dia had taken photos of construction sites that he regularly sent to the complainant who remained abroad. These images, probably diverted from other projects, were used to justify the successive requests for payments.

Reassured by this visual "proof", BS Koundoul then trusted D. Dia to acquire five other plots: two in Almadies and three in Diamniadio.

In total, the alleged fraudster received 33,050,000 CFA francs from his victim, who invested his emigrant savings in what turned out to be a real estate mirage.

The rude awakening upon returning home

Back in Senegal, BS Koundoul discovered the extent of the scam. D. Dia "had done nothing as agreed": no construction, no real plots of land, no legitimate investment.

Faced with this reality, the defrauded immigrant was no longer able to contact his "contractor," who allegedly fled. The victim then filed a complaint with the prosecutor.

A thorough investigation by the gendarmerie

Acting on a report from the Pikine-Guédiawaye prosecutor, the commander of the Keur Massar research brigade opened a thorough investigation. The "intense investigations" led to the location and arrest of the suspect.

Partial confessions and background

When questioned, Dia admitted to having a criminal record before making "commitments to reimbursement." This partial admission of the facts and the mention of prior records suggest that the man could be a repeat offender in real estate fraud.

At the end of the investigation, D. Dia was brought before the Pikine-Guédiawaye High Court for fraud and breach of trust involving more than 33 million CFA francs.

    C’est pas ce k Sonko disait. Nous avons tous en mémoire ses diatribes enflammées contre Macky Sall sur les inondations il y a trois ou quatre ans alors que des quantités importantes d’eau tombaient sur le pays. Le KARMA tu connais, c’est ce qui poursuit ce gouvernement Chaque jour

    Cette brigade de keur massar protège beaucoup de voyous, certains plaintes passent sans suite car le commandant parti à la retraite protège des voyous, même le nouveau va suivre les pas de ce dernier.

    Des économies de toute une vie de travail réduites à néant par un malfrat. Si cela ne dépendait que de moi, cet escroc serait pendu avant la fin du mois d'août 2025.

    Il faut être vraiment naïf pour penser acquérir 2 terrains aux Almadies et autres à 33 millions...
    Et en plus avec quels documents ?
