Referring the Ould Ghada file to the Criminal Chamber Court

The investigating judge of the Western Nouakchott State Court, Mokhtar Ould El Hassan, ordered the referral of Mohamed Ould Ghadda, head of the Comprehensive Transparency Organization and former senator, to the misdemeanor court. The decision came in response to a complaint filed by the Civil Defense Party, which included accusations of slander and defamation through the media.

In the context of the event, information reported that expanded investigations led to the arrest of Ould Ghadda, which led to the start of case proceedings. He was taken to the Public Prosecution for further investigation. However, Ould Ghadda’s detention raises great controversy in political circles, especially after he published a file alleging the involvement of some parties in corruption, supporting his claims with documents that have not yet been proven invalid, which raises fears that others may avoid the risk of exposing corruption for fear of punishment.
