Côte d’Ivoire : une ex-agente de Société Générale poursuivie pour un détournement de plus de 300 millions FCFA

A former employee of Société Générale Côte d'Ivoire bank is at the center of an alleged embezzlement case involving several hundred million CFA francs. The facts are currently being examined by the courts.

According to evidence presented in the legal proceedings, the former employee is suspected of having made fraudulent withdrawals and transfers from bank accounts to benefit relatives. The investigation indicates that 196 million FCFA was allegedly deposited into her partner's account, and 127 million FCFA was transferred to a friend's account, for a total estimated at over 320 million FCFA .

These transactions were allegedly carried out outside of any legal framework and without authorization, using the professional access the individual had at the time. The anomalies detected by the bank's internal control mechanisms led to the opening of a thorough investigation.

The former agent was arrested and brought before the competent court. The bank has filed a civil suit , seeking compensation for the financial losses incurred. The beneficiaries of the transferred funds are also part of the investigation, in order to determine their level of involvement.

However, the case reignites the debate on the security of banking systems and the prevention of internal fraud within financial institutions.
