Reug Reug's Case Reverses as Prosecutor Appeals Judge's Ruling

The prosecutor appealed the judge's decision to place wrestler Oumar Kane, known as Reug Reug, under judicial control after his indictment for conspiracy and attempted counterfeiting of banknotes. The case involves the seizure of black banknotes worth approximately 830 million CFA francs during an arrest on September 24 following an undercover operation. Reug Reug, his maternal uncle A. B. Ndiaye, and D. Faye, a spiritualist, are charged, with an investigation now focusing on a horse racing promoter wanted after claims of receiving black banknotes. The Court of Appeal is set to decide on the wrestler's detention.
