La chambre des appels de la CRIET a rendu ce lundi 17 novembre 2025 son verdict dans le procès en appel de Désiré Vodonou et de ses co-prévenus. L'ex-député a vu sa condamnation à 14 ans de prison dans l'affaire de la casse d'une banque réduite à 7 ans de prison. Ses co-prévenus, le banquier Sylvestre Attadé et son informaticien sénégalais, Sy Sérigne Abdoul Aziz s'en sortent également avec la même peine de prison et d'amendes réduites.

La condamnation de l'ex-élu de Zogbodomey Désiré Vodonou et de ses co prévenus a été revue à la baisse en appel. Condamnés à 14 ans de prison et à 2 milliards FCFA d'amendes par la chambre correctionnelle de la Cour de répression des infractions économiques et du terrorisme (CRIET) à travers un jugement rendu le jeudi 02 avril 2024, l'ex-député Désiré Vodonou et ses coprévenus ont interjeté appel. Après plusieurs mois d'instruction devant la chambre des appels, le verdict est tombé ce lundi 17 novembre 2025, rapporte l'envoyé spécial de Libre Express.

Dans la décision rendue, la chambre des appels a infirmé partiellement le jugement rendu le jeudi 4 avril 2024 en première instance. Évoquant et statuant à nouveau, ladite Cour a réduit les peines de prison de Désiré Vodonou, de l'ex-chef d'agence Godomey de la BGFI, Sylvestre Attadé et de l'informaticien sénégalais Sy Sérigne Abdoul Aziz de 14 ans à 7 ans de prison ferme. En ce qui concerne l'amende, elle est réduite par la Chambre des appels à ⅓ soit plus de 600 millions.

Par ailleurs, la chambre des appels a confirmé la confiscation de tous les biens de Désiré Vodonou et de ces deux co-prévenus à l'exception de ceux réservés à l'usage familial. Le juge en appel a également confirmé l'interdiction de séjour le Sénégalais Sy Sérigne Abdoul Aziz à la fin de sa peine de prison. Il est aussi confirmé en appel l'interdiction de façon définitive l'exercice de la fonction de banquier au prévenu Sylvestre Attadé, rapporte l'envoyé spécial de Libre Express.

Les faits

Dans l'affaire casse d'une banque au Bénin, l'ex-député de Zogbodomey et ses coprévenus ont été placés en détention préventive depuis novembre 2022. Selon le ministère public lors du procès devant la chambre correctionnelle de la CRIET, l'ex-député Désiré Vodonou et ses deux co-prévenus ont été arrêtés dans le cadre d'une affaire de server to server qui consisterait à s'immiscer dans le système informatique de la banque BGFI pour introduire de l'argent en provenance de Russie. Mais sentant le danger, l'ex-député s'est retiré de cette affaire, affirmait le magistrat.

Le procureur signale que l'objectif visé est de ramener virtuellement de l'argent de Russie, de le mettre sur le système informatique de BGFI et de le remettre dans le circuit normal. Il s'agit de brouiller les pistes en introduisant de l'argent illicite dans un système licite, renseigne-t-il. « C'est du blanchiment de capitaux », précise le procureur. Le substitut du procureur spécial de la CRIET précisait que le banquier Sylvestre Attadé a facilité l'opération avec l'appui de l'informaticien sénégalais.

UNITED NATIONS, Nov 18 2025 (IPS)

After nearly two years of conflict between Hamas and Israel, displaced Palestinians in Gaza have begun returning home as humanitarian organizations work to restore essential, life-saving services. Despite recent progress, the United Nations (UN) and its partners continue to face major obstacles in reaching the most vulnerable populations due to ongoing insecurity and heightened restrictions. With winter fast approaching—and expected to further worsen living conditions—sustained aid operations remain critical.

Roughly one month into the ceasefire, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has reported ongoing daily bombardments of residential areas in zones where Israeli forces remain deployed, particularly in eastern Khan Younis and eastern Gaza City. The agency has also documented multiple ceasefire violations along the “Yellow Line,” leading to numerous civilian casualties.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, between October 29 and November 5, bombardments resulted in 15 Palestinian deaths and 24 injuries. An additional 31 bodies were recovered from the rubble of collapsed buildings. The Ministry further reports that since the start of the ceasefire, 241 Palestinians have been killed and 609 injured.

Philippe Lazzarini, the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), observed that the humanitarian situation in Gaza firmly hinges on the stability of the ceasefire. “A ceasefire that merely prolongs the absence of war without charting a viable path to peace would only repeat the disastrous mistakes of the past,” Lazzarini wrote in a Guardian op-ed on November 10. “A truly peaceful future requires a genuine investment in a definitive political solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict.”

Additionally, Lazzarini underscored the urgent need for an international stabilization force to protect key civilian infrastructures and facilitate a smooth flow of humanitarian operations, as well as increased accountability measures to acquire justice for victims of violations of international humanitarian law. On November 12, Lazzarini informed reporters at the UN headquarters that accountability is crucial in establishing a sustainable end to violence and a path to recovery for Palestine as a whole.

“The starting point could at least be a board of inquiry,” said Lazzarini, “More broadly, if we want to promote any lasting peace, I don’t think we would succeed if we aren’t going for the delivery of justice and healing, and recognizing the scope of atrocities that have been committed.”

Despite the UN recording considerable improvement in the humanitarian situation of Gaza, conditions remain dire, with famine and disease remaining imminent threats for most Gazans. The UN and its partners continue to face significant access constraints imposed by Israeli authorities. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres informed reporters that the UN is far from having “what is necessary to eliminate famine quickly and create conditions for the people in Gaza to have the very, very minimum that is necessary for dignity in life”.

OCHA further notes that access to humanitarian aid and agricultural fields beyond the Yellow Line remains prohibited, with yellow-painted concrete blocks being set up to demarcate prohibited areas, as ordered by the Israeli Minister of Defence. Access to the sea also remains barred, with Israeli forces detaining at least five fishers since November 4.

According to OCHA, several essential aid items remain barred from entering Gaza—including humanitarian vehicles, solar panels, mobile latrines, x-ray machines, food and educational supplies, and generators—many of which Israeli authorities classify as outside the scope of humanitarian assistance. OCHA also reports continued restrictions on maintenance tools needed for water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) systems. Dozens of UNRWA vehicles and equipment, including water tankers and jetting trucks, have yet to be cleared for entry.

UNRWA and its partners have expressed alarm over the continued imposition of such restrictions during the ceasefire, particularly with the approaching winter season projected to exacerbate living conditions for Palestinians in displacement shelters. The Shelter Cluster estimates that at least 259,000 Palestinian families, or more than 1.45 million Gazans, will be adversely affected by the winter if adequate protection services are not put in place soon.

In a November 5 joint statement from several UN agencies, including UNRWA, UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO), the UN and its partners have been collaborating with Gaza’s Ministry of Health to prepare an “integrated catch-up campaign” for immunization and nutritional support, aiming to reach approximately 44,000 children who have been cut off from lifesaving services since the beginning of this conflict.

An estimated one in five children under age three are zero-dose or under-vaccinated due to the conflict, leaving them highly vulnerable to preventable disease outbreaks. The campaign will be carried out in three rounds to provide children with missed routine vaccinations, including Pentavalent, Polio, Rota, Pneumococcal, and two doses of the MMR vaccine.

Vaccination services will be available at 149 health facilities and 10 mobile vehicles across the enclave, with the first round scheduled for November 9-18. The second and third rounds of the vaccine campaign are planned for December 2025 and January 2026, respectively.

Alongside vaccinations, UNICEF and partners will screen children for malnutrition, provide treatment and follow-up for those affected, and refer severe cases to WHO-supported stabilization centers. UNICEF is also rehabilitating 15 health centers, while WHO is restoring an additional 20 facilities that were partially or fully destroyed.

“This immunization campaign is a lifeline, protecting children’s health and restoring hope for the future,” said Dr Richard Peeperkorn, WHO Representative in the occupied Palestinian territory. “It’s a crucial step in strengthening essential health services and protecting vulnerable children in Gaza who have been cut off for far too long. Yet this is only one piece of the puzzle. Much more is needed, and WHO is working to rebuild Gaza’s fragile health system so every child, every community, can access the care they deserve.”

Additionally, Lazzarini informed reporters on November 12 that UNRWA has been a lifeline for Gaza since the beginning of this crisis. Over the past two years, UNRWA has supported over 15 million primary health consultations, providing over 14,000 consultations on average on a daily basis.

UNRWA has also been instrumental in keeping the water system in the enclave from collapsing, with Lazzarini stating that roughly “40 percent of clean water is thanks to the work of (UNRWA’s) engineer(s) on the ground.” Furthermore, UNRWA has supported more than 48,000 children across 96 UNRWA schools five days a week, alongside bringing online education back to about 300,000 children.

“I do believe that we are and remain an extraordinary asset at the disposal of the international community, especially for securing critical services for the population of Gaza and any effort in stabilization and success,” said Lazzarini. “The main challenge is that we need to safeguard the operational space of the agency in Gaza. That’s challenge number one, to acknowledge that the agency is a vital key partner and an invaluable asset to the international community to help consolidate the ceasefire and ensure a successful recovery.”
