Ex-Comoros president Abdallah Sambi faces life sentence

• Former Comoros President Ahmed Abdallah Sambi has been found guilty of high treason.
• He is accused of giving stateless people who lived in Gulf states passports in exchange for money.

State prosecutors in Comoros think that former President Ahmed Abdallah Sambi committed acts of high treason, and as a result, they have requested that the court sentence him to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Sambi is being investigated for the extremely serious crime of high treason.

Sambi, who is currently 64 years old and held the presidency from 2006 until 2011, has been detained on suspicion of corruption since 2018. He served in that capacity from 2006 until 2011.

Between the years 2006 and 2011, he served as president.

He is accused of giving stateless people who lived in Gulf states passports in exchange for money that these people purchased from him. These people did not have a home country.

This country is believed to be the setting for the alleged financial transaction that took place.

Comoros Infos, a website that is privately owned and managed, asserts that the defendant did not show up in court, which led to the case against him being heard in his absence, as a result of which he was found guilty.

On the 28th of November, he is going to listen to the judge’s decision regarding the penalty that he would receive.
