Abah Abah Polycarpe case: Ruling postponed to January 13

The much-awaited verdict in the case opposing the Legal Department and the State of Cameroon (Crédit Foncier du Cameroun) to Polycarpe Abah Abah, Joseph Edou and several others, has been re-scheduled for January 13, 2015.

In pronouncing the adjournment yesterday, Monday December 29, 2014 at the Special Criminal Court in Yaounde, the presiding judge, Mr. Justice Francis Moukoury, said the panel of judges did not have its habitual composition and thus could not proceed as planned.

The Legal Department holds the former Director of Taxation (and former Finance Minister) criminally responsible for the disappearance of the sum of FCFA 6.5 billion, representing recovered contributions that were not transferred to the beneficiary, the Housing Loan Scheme (Crédit Foncier du Cameroun) between 1999 and December 2004.
