Gambia's Former President Stole Almost $1bn Before Fleeing The Country

Former President of the Gambia, Yahya Jammeh

The Guardian: Gambian ex-president ‘stole almost $1bn before fleeing country’

Yahya Jammeh accused of orchestrating huge theft of government funds.

Yahya Jammeh, the former president of the Gambia, orchestrated the theft of almost $1bn (£760m) from his country before his flight into exile two years ago, investigative reporters have alleged.

The Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) said it had reviewed thousands of leaked documents that detailed how government funds had been looted over 22 years.

Jammeh, a former military officer who seized power in a coup in 1994, fled into exile in early 2017 after losing an election.

    So the UN is doing what?

    The Hague is doing what?

    So, if they cannot catch 1 guy without an army and if they have not sought extradition, then WTF use are they?

    You would think with such a high and mighty and activist Hague and UN there would be no more Mobuto Seko's

    So Senor Brennan told Obama what about Yahya Jammeh?

    Brennan: "He is a thief Mr. President"
    Obama: "No problem!"
    Brennan: "He has stolen 1 Billion dollars and counting."
    Obama: "No problemo!"
    Brennan: "He bankrupted their country and made them destitute"
    Obama: "Can I get a selfie with him?"
    Brennan: "Well at least you are not Trump!"

    "In June 2018, the Gambian government decided to auction off his fleet of luxury cars and
    aircraft to raise money for health and education projects."

    Yup, destitute.

    "As Jammeh left Gambia on 21 January 2017 ..."

    What did Obama know and when did the pecker know it?

    "Effective December 21, 2017, US President Donald Trump issued an executive order under the Magnitsky Act that specifically named Yahya Jammeh among the persons whose US-based assets are to be blocked."

    What Trump did.

    "Jammeh later left Gambia for Equatorial Guinea."

    Holed up in the dictatorship of Equatorial Guinea..

    They have a export economy based on oil. Embargo them until they give the wretch up. The UN could do that. But they won't.
