at the Excéllence High School in Faladie, Bamako. Amougnon SAYE, with his friend, then
exchanged his victim against the vehicle used in the commission of his crime, that is, the CG125.
In Bamako, Anne Dougnon became a housekeeper to Alassane SAYE, and constantly had sexual
intercourse with him. It was after intensive search by the Gendarmerie that Anne Dougnon
returned to her parents in Sédourou;

reveals no previous conviction against him; and that the information received on the personality
of the defendant is favourable. Whereas the expert medical certificate by the chief physician of
Koro of 14/3/2005 establishes that Amougnon SAYE suffers no physical or psychological
abnormality which could influence his criminal liability.
-Whereas the judicial inquiry establishes that there is sufficient evidence against Amoungnon:
1- To have, in Sedourou, Circle of Koro, in February 2005, in any case less than ten years ago,
transported a child, in this case Anne Dougnon, from Sedourou to Bamako to hand her over to
Alassane SAYE in order for the latter to use her as a housekeeper and engage in sexual
intercourse with her in exchange for a CG125 motorcycle;
2- To have, in the same circumstances of place and time as above, in any case less than ten years
ago, through fraud, removed an individual from the place where she was placed by those
under whose authority she is submitted or confided, in this case Anne Dougnon, pupil of the
sixth year in primary school in Sedourou;
Whereas these acts are defined and punished by Articles 240 and 244 of the Penal Code;
Having regard to Article 185 of the Penal Code.
Requests that it pleases the Investigating Judge to declare sufficiently established, against Mr
Amougnon SAYE, the crimes of abduction and child trafficking.
