A court in Conakry, Guinea, has sentenced Ferimba Mansaré, a woman in her sixties, to five years in prison for her involvement in international cocaine trafficking. The conviction was handed down by the Court of Repression of Illicit Enrichment and Economic and Financial Crimes (CRIEF).
According to verified reports, Mansaré was arrested in connection with a drug trafficking network operating between Latin America and West Africa. The specific details of her arrest and the quantity of cocaine involved were not publicly disclosed in the available court records.
The sentencing underscores ongoing efforts by Guinean authorities to combat international drug trafficking, which has increasingly used West African nations as transit points. The CRIEF court is specifically tasked with handling such economic and financial crimes.
No information was immediately available regarding whether Mansaré plans to appeal the verdict. The case highlights the regional challenge of intercepting narcotics shipments destined for European markets.
