The source said that Bongo, 59, will “come to a hospital in Rabat to convalesce and undergo rehabilitation”.
Shortly after Bongo returned to the political stage, Laccruche was sidelined in November 2019 and then became a target in an anti-corruption drive that also aimed at several high-flying associates. The court in the capital Libreville sentenced him on the relatively minor charge of “improperly issuing administrative documents” and fined him five million CFA francs .“This is a grossly unfair sentence which completely discredits the notion of justice,” Laccruche’s lawyer Anges-Kevin Nzigou told AFP.“I don’t know if we are going to appeal — I don’t believe in the ability of the magistrates involved in this case to interpret the law” correctly, he said.
