Fuel fraud is believed to be one of the terrorist financing circuits in Burkina Faso. Investigations have been carried out in several cities in Burkina Faso in order to put an end to these practices, which paralyze the national economy and constitute sources of terrorist financing. These operations have fallen on the arrest of dozens of people and the closure of several gas stations and fuel depots. The necessary hearings and interpellations are continuing. It should be noted that the prosecutor has opened an investigation for aggravated smuggling, money laundering and terrorist financing.
