Ouagadougou: KORAG, the body responsible for monitoring Burkina Faso's strategic vision, has exposed a vast corruption and money laundering network involving customs officials and judicial actors. This revelation was made through communiqu No. 03, read by Captain Farouk Azaria Sorgho on national radio and television.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the case emerged from complaints filed with the High Authority for State Control and the Fight Against Corruption (ASCE-LC). These complaints implicated customs agents accused of receiving undue payments from transporters for the passage of trucks that had been cleared through customs legally. Investigations by the public prosecutor's office revealed significant amounts of money in the homes of those involved, alongside material evidence such as videos capturing the perpetrators in the act. Despite the evidence, the case was dismissed by an investigating judge in July 2024, a decision later upheld by the appeals court's investigating chamber in August 2025.

KORAG has also highlighted serious dysfunctions within the justice system, pointing to the disclosure of whistleblowers' identities, acts of corruption, and influence peddling within the Ouagadougou Court of Appeal. The investigation reportedly implicates ten magistrates and one lawyer. KORAG has assured that disciplinary and legal sanctions will be imposed on those responsible and reaffirmed the Burkinabe government and people's commitment to combat corruption and impunity.

KORAG stated, "The perpetrators and their accomplices will be held accountable and will face the full force of the law," adding that no favors will be granted to anyone. The organization has called on the people of Burkina Faso to stay vigilant against attempts at media manipulation.
