Ex-chad adjutant for corruption of over $ 15 million locked up

A former top adjutant by the Chadical President Mahamat Idriss Deby ITNO was sentenced to five years in prison by a court in the capital N'Djamena.

Idriss Youssouf Boy, who once acted as President of the President and is both his cousin and his friend from childhood, was found guilty after a lawsuit submitted by Hachim Bouder in January. Bouder accused Boy of blackmailing almost nine billion CFA francs (approx. $ 15 million) over a period of two years. The funds were originally intended for infrastructure projects in Ostschad.

The boy was also occupied by a million CFA francs as part of the court's decision. Despite the judgment, his defender Laguerre Ndjerandi claimed that the decision was shocking and argued that there was no material proof of examining the allegations of corruption. “There is no significant evidence that prove our customers' guilt,” he told AFP.

While the boy denied the supposedly supposedly supposedly supposedly supposedly offered amount, he admitted to having borrowed a billion CFA francs from Bouder's Company, Tchad Service. During the trial, seven witnesses confirmed financial transactions between the two men, and Bouder presented evidence to support his claim.

Boud also received a five -year prison sentence for “passive corruption”, which points out that the court held both parties responsible for the corrupt business. The boy's lawyer said that they plan to make an appeal against the judgment in the hope that the Court of Appeal will be will resolve the decision of the Supreme Court.

The boy previously worked as a personal secretary of the president between April 2021 and June 2022. He was removed from his position after he was involved in a separate shelters in which the state chad of hydrocarbon (SHT) was involved.
