The Economic and Financial Pool of the Ouaga I High Court acceded on May 3, 2022 to the release requested by lawyers Paulin Salembéré, Amedée Yeré, Thierry Michel Traoré, Hamidou Sawadogo and SCPA Karamabiri-Nyamba.

Drissa Ouattara and her co-defendants are now at large. The prosecutor of Faso at the TGI Ouaga-I had requested the referral of the file at the end of May because he did not have all the documents of the procedure. "The Prosecutor General of Bobo-Dioulasso had to transmit the documents to the General Prosecutor's Office of Ouagadougou before it transmitted the entire file to the TGI Ouaga I designated by the Court of Cassation. We have not yet received the documents," the prosecution said at the May 3 hearing.

If this is the case, stresses Me Paulin Salembéré, we can only ask for a release for our customers. "It is since February 24, 2022 that the Court of Cassation has designated the TGI Ouaga I, the documents have not yet arrived at the designated jurisdiction. The distance between Ouaga and Bobo is barely 400 kilometers. If for this distance, it takes four months to transmit the file, we ask for the release of our clients.
