MALI - A BOEING IN THE SAND
Follow the podcast Crime & Punishment 03 in your app:
Read it:
A Boeing from Venezuela burns in the desert north of Gao, and its cargo is never found. In Bamako, auditors count more than 1,266 billion francs of irregularities in fifteen years; a presidential jet and an overbilled arms contract stop the IMF's money; a UN panel reports monthly payments from a sanctioned deputy to the head of State Security; and the gold the Emirates record as Malian outweighs Mali's declarations nearly eighteen times. Then the soldiers who seized power try the old elite, mostly in its absence. Covers Bouaré Fily Sissoko and the Guo-Star contract, Boubou Cissé and the Paramount-Embraer case, Mohamed Ould Mataly and the UN Panel of Experts, Karim Keïta and the Birama Touré case, Bakary Togola and the cotton confederation, and Barrick and the Loulo-Gounkoto mine.
