The DGR’s provincial branch in Ogooué-Ivindo launched an investigation on March 23, which led to the arrest of the four agents. Two of the suspects were placed in pre-trial detention at the Makokou central prison on March 27 for aggravated theft, while the other two were released.
The investigation is ongoing.
