Wally Seck announces ‘voluntary suspension’ of musical career

Sep 16, 2025, 2:43 PM

Wally Seck's recently announced "voluntary suspension" of his musical career is taking a new legal turn. The singer, who had been demanding a hearing in the case related to the sale of a vehicle to Amadou Sall, son of former President Macky Sall, is now at the center of a judicial investigation opened by the judge of the first financial cabinet, according to Libération.

This procedure follows a new CENTIF report, supplementing the one published last March, which already implicated Amadou Sall, Farba Ngom, and Tahirou Sarr. In this first document, the names of Wally Seck and car salesman Mahmadane Sarr, known as "Dane," also appeared.

Further investigations revealed several suspicious transactions involving companies such as SCI Newport, SCP ASA Vinvest, Sénégal Transport Service SARL, and ETS Saliou Sylla, including an unjustified withdrawal of 5.597 billion CFA francs. According to the report, Wally Seck is among the alleged beneficiaries of these transactions.

A total of six other individuals are targeted by the judicial investigation. All are being prosecuted for criminal conspiracy in an organized criminal group and money laundering committed by an organized criminal group.

Finally, an exit ban was issued against all those involved, a measure forwarded to the Air and Border Police Directorate (DPAF). Wally Seck, currently abroad, is expected to return to Dakar in the coming hours.
