U.S. arrest of Samuel Mebiane for corruption in Niger, Chad, and Guinea.

Mr. Samuel Mebiame was arrested by American authorities in New York on 12 August 2016. A criminal complaint filed against him with U.S. criminal courts notes that the arrest occurs in the context of a major criminal investigation involving a U.S hedge fund and relates to corrupt dealings in numerous African countries, including Chad, Guinea and Niger. The Government of Guinea and Guinean criminal justice authorities are following the Samuel Mebiame matter closely and will conduct all necessary investigations to support U.S. authorities in shedding light on the allegations that relate to Guinea. In light of the pending investigation, there will be no further public comment at this stage.

The Guinean Government, which has cooperated and continues to fully cooperate with the U.S. authorities, remains available to assist with pending proceedings in the United States.
