Court of Cassation: Developments Against Macky Sall in France

Juan Branco announces that the rapporteur of the French Court of Cassation has recommended transferring the complaint for crimes against humanity against Macky Sall to the chamber of instruction, marking progress after three years of stagnation. Branco believes this development could prevent Macky Sall from becoming UN Secretary-General due to the record of political violence in Senegal, including 76 deaths and over 200 acts of torture. He criticizes the Senegalese justice system for not conducting serious investigations and accuses Emmanuel Macron of obstruction, while also condemning the lack of support from Senegalese authorities. The judicial process also has diplomatic implications, as such a charge could impact Macky Sall’s support in the UN Secretary-General selection process.
