A former prime minister of Mali jailed on corruption allegations
Agency: Last Updated: Bamako(Mali), Aug 19 (AP) A former prime minister of Mali was imprisoned Tuesday following allegations of corruption that he has denied, his lawyer told The Associated Press. Choguel Maïga, 67, led the civilian wing of the country's military junta until his November 2024 dismissal days after he criticised it for postponing elections. He has continued to publicly criticise it. His lawyer, Cheick Oumar Konaré, said the Supreme Court had notified the former prime minister of the charges filed against him by Mali's prosecutor general and ordered that he be placed in custody. The charges follow a report by the West African nation's auditor general on the management of public funds while Maïga was prime minister. No trial date has been set. In June, Gen Assimi Goita was granted an additional five years in power despite the junta's earlier promises of a return to civilian rule by March 2024. The junta dissolved political parties in May.

Chavez Jr. Deported From US And Detained In Mexico For Alleged Ties With Cartel
Former champion boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was detained in Mexico after being deported by the US. He faces charges related to drug cartels and was arrested in July. Former champion boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has been detained in Mexico after being deported by the United States to face charges related to drug cartels, Mexican authorities announced on Tuesday. Chavez, son of the legendary fighter Julio Cesar Chavez, was handed over at midday on Monday and transferred to a prison in Sonora, a state in northwest Mexico, according to information from the country's National Detention Registry. 'He was deported," confirmed President Claudia Sheinbaum to reporters, noting that there was an arrest warrant for him in Mexico. What Happened To Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.? US authorities arrested Chavez in July for being in the United States illegally. They also stated he was wanted in Mexico for alleged connections to the Sinaloa Cartel, one of six Mexican drug trafficking groups designated as terrorist organizations by the United States. His extradition is part of US President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigrants, fulfilling his promise to deport millions of people. Chavez's arrest in July occurred days after his one-sided loss to YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a cruiserweight bout before a sell-out crowd in California. Once a top-rated boxer, Chavez won the WBC middleweight world title in 2011 and successfully defended it three times. However, his career has also been marred by multiple suspensions and fines for failed drug tests. Homeland Security, which oversees US immigration enforcement, stated Chavez had entered the United States legally in 2023 on a tourist visa valid until February 2024. In April last year, he applied for permanent residency based on his marriage to a US citizen 'who is connected to the Sinaloa cartel through a prior relationship with the now-deceased son of the infamous cartel leader Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman." Homeland Security also noted that in addition to the active warrant in Mexico, Chavez had criminal convictions in the United States, including weapons charges in 2024 in Los Angeles. view comments First Published: August 19, 2025, 22:52 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
