Central Africa: Fresh facts emerge in case involving alleged spy, Martin Figueira

Fresh facts have emerged over the recent arrest of Martin Joseph Figueira, a Belgian national of Portuguese origin in Zemio by the Central African Defense and Security Forces.

During subsequent interrogations and investigations, it was revealed that the man, Figueira, had been employed by a non-governmental organization operating in the Central African Republic.

Figueira was allegedly involved in espionage activities.

Following his arrest, a judicial inquiry was opened by the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Bangui to investigate the case.

The investigation suggested that Martin Figueira was collecting information and had connections with various rebel groups that were compromising security in several Central African regions.

Military expert, Sylvain Nguema, in a statement said correspondence between Figueira and CPC spokesman Mohamadou Bello Saïdou indicated that Figueira had been in communication with Central African armed groups.

“In an audio message, Figueira promised to send Bello 100 euros, apologizing for not being able to send more at that time.

“In another conversation, Figueira informed Bello that he had not been able to buy a smartphone in Portugal but found a shop in Bangui with a wide selection of simpler phones. He then asked the rebel spokesman who could come to his hotel to collect the phone.

“The investigation is ongoing, and further developments are expected.”
