Amadou Vamoulké, former director general of the Cameroon Radio and Television (CRTV), has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for embezzlement of public funds. This sentence comes in addition to a previous 12-year sentence handed down in 2022, bringing his total incarceration to 32 years. Vamoulké’s family and supporters denounce what they see as a judicial vendetta against him. The case against Vamoulké, who served as CRTV director from 2005 to 2016, has been marked by controversy, including over 130 postponements of hearings, a world record. This new sentence adds another chapter to this long-running legal saga, which has attracted attention from both local and international observers. Vamoulké has been accused of mismanagement and embezzlement during his time at CRTV. His lawyers and supporters maintain that he is the victim of a political scheme designed to discredit him and punish him for reasons beyond the legal realm. They allege an unfair trial and a concerted effort to keep him imprisoned at all costs. Many human rights organizations have also expressed concern over the handling of the case by the Cameroonian judicial system. They criticize the slow pace of proceedings, multiple postponements, and lack of transparency, arguing that Vamoulké’s trial does not adhere to international standards of fair justice. The defense team may appeal this new sentence, as Vamoulké continues to proclaim his innocence. The former CRTV director, now 73 years old, faces the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars if these sentences are upheld.
