An appeals court handed former Guinea prime minister Ibrahima Kassory Fofana a reduced prison sentence Thursday for a conviction that included illicit enrichment and money laundering.
The body reduced Fofana's sentence to three years and nine months, from an initial February 2025 sentencing of five years by a special court for financial crimes (CRIEF) that was set up shortly after a military coup.
Fofana, who has been in prison since April 2022, headed the government under civilian president Alpha Conde from May 2018 until the military seized control in September 2021.
