While Jammeh reportedly stole at least $362 million during his 22-year rule, only $23.7 million worth of assets has been recovered so far. A Gambian parliamentary committee raised concerns over untraceable funds from the sale of aircraft linked to former president Yahya Jammeh, with $740,000 in proceeds partly unaccounted for. Five state-owned aircraft were sold significantly below their estimated value, with some subsequently resold for higher prices, highlighting possible profiteering. Record-keeping gaps and the lack of transparent sales procedures have made it difficult to track the full recovery of Jammeh’s misappropriated assets.
