The economic inspection and anti-fraud brigade, BMCRF, closed three shops selling everyday consumer goods and two cement outlets in Boulmiougou, Zongo and Zaktouly. Details published on 24 October cited information released by the brigade the previous day.
Inspectors said cement sales records showed prices substantially above official rates. Four of the five people sanctioned were requisitioned for work in the public interest. The account did not specify how long the closures or work assignments would last, or the prices charged.
