Quote:

"In a one-page filing, federal prosecutors in Manhattan said on Friday [Sept 14] that they were withdrawing charges against the former official, Cheikh Gadio, but offered no explanation for the decision. Dismissals of this sort often come with agreements not to prosecute in return for testimony.  The dismissal of the criminal complaint against Mr Gadio, who had served as Senegal's foreign minister, came roughly 10 months after he was arrested along with Chi Ping Patrick Ho in a high-profile foreign bribery case that could shed light on the operations of CEFC China Energy, an energy conglomerate with close ties to the Chinese government.

CEFC China Energy 中国华信能源 chairman "Ye Jianming 叶简明 * * * vanished in China after being detained [by China] this year.  No explanation has been given for Mr Ye's disappearance. [Federal] Prosecutors have suggested in court filings that CEFC is continuing to pay the legal fees for the large team of lawyers representing Mr Ho.
