Gambia: US returns $2.5 million to Jammeh’s victims

Gambia confirmed it had received $2,573,414.10 from the sale of Yahya Jammeh’s mansion in Potomac, Maryland. US authorities said Jammeh and his wife had acquired the property using embezzled Gambian public funds and proceeds of criminal activity. The Gambian Reparations Commission will use the money exclusively to compensate victims of abuses during Jammeh’s 22 years in power, from 1994 to 2017.
