Benin: How over 24 million FCFA in tuition fees vanished (Le Faucon) – La Nouvelle Tribune

The Abomey-Calavi court examined on June 11, 2026, a case of alleged embezzlement of tuition fees and document forgery involving a former student of the private institution 'Le Faucon'. The alleged loss exceeds 24 million FCFA, discovered during an internal audit in 2020. The financial director stated that receipts did not match bank deposits, with only 5,000 FCFA deposited instead of the owed amounts. The former student pleaded good faith, claiming he used an intermediary and only received kickbacks.
