Acting against falsification of official documents : the first Gendarmerie Region busts a gang majoring in the production of forged documents
Acting on information, elements of the service in charge of Criminal Investigation and the Control of Large-scale Banditry of the First Gendarmerie Region arrested a young student who had several forged documents in his possession, on Friday 20 September 2024.

He was about to apply for a job in a bank.

He was taken to this Service for questioning, which facilitated raids at the places called Poste Centrale and Pharmacie du Soleil, where 04 other suspects were caught red-handed in the process of forging documents.

The search conducted in both sites resulted in the seizure of hundreds of forged national identity cards, thousands of documents with forged stamps, hundreds of forged stamps from several ministries and other structures, forged birth certificates, counterfeit receipt making equipment and printing machines, among other things.

The four forgers, aged 22, 24, 30 and 31 respectively, all confessed to their crime, asserting they had accomplices at large.

Investigation is ongoing with the aim to break up the rest of the gang.
