Fraudulent acts for the periods 1999 to 2005 following the execution of the PREBU were updated by a team of audited.   The persons in charge for this fraud with respect to the European public money is likely to pass a stay to the dungeon.  The courses criminal of Burundi will be seized.

The new authorities Burundian, team NKURUNZIZA, say that their combat against the socio-economic criminalisation founded for 40 years by Mode MICOMBERO-BAGAZZA-BUYOYA (*) has been in hand… The OLAF and the European Commission confirmed their engagement working together with the government of Burundi to resolutely fight the fraud and the corruption.
