Guinea is investigating detained former premier Ibrahima Kassory Fofana over allegedly embezzling more than $40 million in financial aid intended to battle the coronavirus pandemic, the prosecutor general said Friday.
Fofana served as prime minister under ex-president Alpha Conde from May 2018 until September 2021, when the army ousted the elected government in a coup.
The former premier has been detained since April over fraud, but no details had been released about the exact accusations against him.
