Summary of Plainte contre Tebboune, ses enfants et les biens mal acquis en France...

The video features a detailed commentary by the coordinator of the Algerian Citizens' Movement of France (MCAF) addressing allegations of corruption and illicit acquisition of assets ("biens mal acquis") by high-ranking Algerian officials and their families in France and Europe. The speaker recounts their long-standing efforts since 2015 to expose and legally challenge these issues through the French justice system, including filing complaints and collaborating with journalists and investigators, notably Christophe Dubois.

Key points include:

  • The MCAF has documented and reported on the illicit acquisition of assets by Algerian political, military, and business elites residing or holding assets in France, including the children of President Tebboune and the Chief of Staff.
  • These assets are suspected to be embezzled public funds illegally transferred abroad, constituting crimes under both Algerian and French law.
  • Despite evidence and reports published by major French media outlets (Le Parisien, L’Express, Le Point, Journal du Dimanche), Algerian authorities and press largely remain silent or dismiss these allegations as attacks against Algeria rather than addressing the corruption claims.
  • The speaker criticizes the Algerian government for prosecuting dissidents and journalists like Camel Daoud while ignoring or suppressing investigations into the elite’s illicit wealth.
  • The MCAF plans to file a collective legal complaint in Paris against the implicated individuals and French institutions like Tracfin (the French anti-money laundering authority), demanding asset freezes and confiscations to recover stolen wealth for the Algerian people.
  • There is frustration with the French justice system’s reluctance to pursue these cases vigorously, implying tacit tolerance of corruption by Algerian elites.
  • The commentary also touches on broader issues such as the marginalization of Algerian voices in France, the need for better representation of Kabyle Muslims separate from the Paris mosque (which is accused of corruption related to halal meat trade), and the harmful impact of nationalism used by corrupt leaders to silence criticism.
  • The speaker calls for solidarity among Algerians in France to join the collective complaint and to seek transparency and justice.
  • The video stresses that exposing corruption is not an attack on Algeria but a necessary step to protect the nation and its citizens.
  • The commentary includes personal anecdotes about previous complaints, threats received, and interactions with officials and journalists.

Overall, the video is a call to action for Algerian civil society in France to unite against corruption, hold powerful figures accountable, and reclaim stolen assets to benefit Algeria’s public treasury.
