In Mali, the high-profile trial involving Bouaré Fily Sissoko has been postponed to June 2, 2025. The case concerns the controversial purchase of a presidential aircraft and military equipment totaling 130 billion CFA francs.
The alleged financial misconduct dates back to 2014, during the presidency of Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta. It has since become one of the most scrutinized corruption cases in the country.
Sissoko, a former minister and the key defendant, appeared in court in poor health, prompting the delay. Legal observers say the case could set a precedent for anti-corruption efforts in Mali.
