Money laundering: New charge complicates Diodio Glow Skin’s situation

The Pikine-Guédiawaye prosecutor’s office has added money laundering, extortion and incitement to commit an offence charges to the case involving Mame Diarra Thiam, known as Diodio Glow Skin. Her name emerged from an examination of Rokhaya Fall’s phone; investigators found a Wave transfer receipt for 600,000 CFA francs dated March 2, 2026, of which 595,000 francs was received. Prosecutors may seek to link the money transfers to alleged payments for supportive livestreams on social media. Thiam says the transfer was social assistance to Fall; she has been charged and placed under electronic monitoring with a curfew-like home assignment from 10 p.m., and remains presumed innocent.
