Malian man, Foutanga Babani Sissoko scammed Dubai Islamic Bank of $242 million despite being an illiterate.
He told the Deputy Director he could double money with magic.
He was a Lawmaker from 2002-2014. He wasn’t arrested for this because Mali doesn’t have an extradition deal.
Foutanga Babani Sissoko established an airline called Air Dabia, which he named after his village in Mali. It had three aircraft including two old Boeings.
He started constructing a large hotel in Bamako, the capital of Mali in the 1990s.
In 1995, he was convicted of illegally trying to purchase two combat planes.
He served 43 days in jail (half his sentence) and paid a $250,000 fine.
He was released early in return for a $1 million payment to a homeless shelter.
A former US Senator was on his defence team.
