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.

Donc il faut plus se baser sur la religion pour faire confiance
Maximum 3 mois le gars sera libre. Donc qui perds
Les gens de la diaspora je sais que vous avez la nostalgie du pays. Gardez vos argent sur place la où vous êtes. Investissez là-bas c’est mieux. Acheter vos maisons la où vous vivez
Et en plus avec quels documents ?
