Yaya Jammeh’s $ 3.5 million Potomac, Maryland mansion
Theft and corruption
The former president had stolen more than $50 million from the state, according to the country’s justice minister. He had also been accused of going away with more than $11 million and a number of luxury vehicles when he left the country in 2017.
The president had collected a lot of wealth over the years through unscrupulous means, including accessing money meant for the Yahya Jammeh Foundation for his personal use. He had also siphoned money meant for public use into his private accounts. The money was spent on luxury items and properties, including a house in Maryland and Rolls Royce limousines among others.
