The former president, ousted by a bloodless coup d’Etat in September 2021, has been living in exile in Türkiye.

Although in absentia, Condé is being prosecuted at a Conakry court on charges of corruption, assassination, torture, kidnapping, and rape.

Justice Minister Alphonse Charles Wright requested “to start the legal proceedings against Professor Alpha Condé for acts of treason, criminal conspiracy, and complicity in the illegal possession of arms and ammunition.”
