Traite de personnes à Diamniadio : 3 escrocs de QNET arrêtés, 47 victimes sauvées par la SR de Colobane
The Dakar gendarmerie's investigation unit conducted a major operation on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, in Diamniadio, in the Rufisque department. Fifty people were arrested in connection with an alleged case of fraud and human trafficking, Seneweb learned from Colonel Ibrahima Ndiaye.
The intervention of the gendarmes follows the denunciation of a citizen presenting himself as a victim of fraud and kidnapping by members of the international company called QNET.
Alerted, the research section immediately moved to Diamniadio Sud, where investigators discovered fifty individuals of different nationalities, spread across two multi-story buildings serving as both study rooms and dormitories. Questioned about the reasons for their presence, they stated that they were being introduced to entrepreneurship by QNET agents.
Faced with this suspicious situation, all these people were taken to the gendarmerie premises in Colobane for the purposes of the investigation.
In total, the operation resulted in the arrest of 47 alleged victims (23 women and 24 men) and three organizers involved, including one woman and two men. Among these people, 37 are of Senegalese nationality and 13 of foreign nationality, including nine Malians, two Ivorians, one Guinean, and one Mauritanian, according to our investigations. The three organizers were detained at the SR premises and are being prosecuted for fraud and human trafficking.
This operation is part of the fight against fraud networks that promise quick enrichment and miraculous business opportunities, often attracting unemployed young people.
The investigation continues to determine the scope of the network and identify other possible accomplices. The Dakar Gendarmerie Legion, under the command of Colonel Malick Faye, is committed to combating crime and delinquency in all its forms. Investigations revealed that the suspects used fraudulent tactics to recruit young people by offering them supposed training in project management, personal development, and other fields, for registration fees of up to one million CFA francs.
The National Gendarmerie invites citizens to report any suspicious activity via its call center, accessible free of charge on the green numbers 800 00 20 20 or 123.
