Authorities investigating alleged international gold fraud linked to Mohamed Diallo — known to operate through Zadak Group, Zadak International FZCO, and Zadak SARL (Mali)

International law enforcement agencies have launched investigations following multiple reports of large-scale fraud allegedly orchestrated by Mohamed Diallo, an individual publicly associated with entities trading under the names Zadak Group, Zadak International FZCO, and Zadak SARL in Mali.

Background and Allegations

According to several gold traders, buyers, and logistics partners, Diallo is accused of defrauding investors and counterparties through falsified export documents, counterfeit DNCC papers, and fabricated airway bills relating to gold shipments that were never fulfilled.The alleged scheme spans several jurisdictions, including Mali, the United Arab Emirates, and other African countries.

Dubai Police have received formal complaints, and corresponding reports have also been submitted to the Malian Ministry of Mines, DNCC, and other competent authorities. Multiple victims have confirmed that Diallo’s actions resulted in combined losses exceeding USD 700,000, with ongoing efforts to identify further affected parties.

Current Status

Sources within the investigative network report that Mohamed Diallo is currently evading authorities and may no longer be residing in Mali. Unverified intelligence suggests he could be hiding in another African country and potentially using alternative identities or aliases to continue illicit activities within the gold trade network.

Several law enforcement agencies, private investigators, and regional community leaders are now cooperating across borders to locate Diallo and dismantle any related operations still active under different names.

Public Awareness and Reward

To assist in the investigation, a USD 100,000 reward has been announced by independent groups and industry members for credible information that directly leads to the confirmed arrest of Mohamed Diallo.Numerous warnings and verified photographs have circulated across international gold-trading forums, WhatsApp groups, and professional networks, encouraging vigilance and reporting.

Members of the gold and logistics sectors are urged to:

• Verify all documentation when dealing with suppliers claiming links to Zadak or Mohamed Diallo.

• Report any suspicious communications or offers immediately to the relevant authorities.

• Avoid direct engagement and instead channel any intelligence to official enforcement agencies.

Reporting Channels

Those with reliable information are encouraged to contact:

• Dubai Police – Criminal Investigation Department

• Malian Ministry of Mines or DNCC

• Interpol (Regional Office for Africa)

Anonymous reports can also be submitted to gold-trading community moderators and international trade associations coordinating the alert.
