The business “Albatross” of the name of the presidential plane which has fed the Cameronian press comments for several years is part from now on of the legal files of the operation “sparrowhawk”.

The operation “sparrowhawk” it is the code name of the countryside against the corruption launched by president Paul Biya.

The business was born from the project of the Head of the Cameronian State to acquire a plane which was to replace the Pelican, the old plane, asset of the time of Tinder Ahidjo, the predecessor of Paul Biya.

It is into 2001 that the presidency of the Republic releases a budget for the purchase of a new plane and dépèche a delegation of high persons in charge in the United States for this mission.

After long and hard negociations which do not last less than three years, the plane baptized “Albatross” - a Boeing 767 - is bought and delivered to Cameroun in April 2004.

D? a 48,5 m length for 47,6 m D? is scale, it classified by the aeronautical experts in category VIP and profits D? a special and luxurious installation carried out on its board.

But the day of the inaugural flight, the plane with on his board President Paul Biya, his wife and his children, on the way for Europe, are victim of serious technical problems which force it to be posed in catastrophe on the airport of Douala.

It will be the single time that the president will use it and it will be returned a few months later.

The opinion discovers whereas it was not about a new plane, but of a bought apparatus of occasion - the press will speak about a business of embezzlement and certain newspapers go until advancing that it is about a plot.

By convening the former secretary general with the Presidency and minister of State, Jean-Marie Atangana Mebara and the former director general of the airline company Cameroon Airlines, Yve-Michel Fotso to be auditioned on this business, the Criminal Investigation Department opened an investigation into the most sensitive file and most explosive of corruption of the Republic.

According to the Cameronian press in addition to these two people, current the Prime Minister Ephraim Inoni, who was a secretary general associated with the Presidency of the Republic could be heard.

In an exclusive interview granted to BBC Africa, Francis Nana, an expert in aviation which inquired into the purchase of planes for Cameroon Airlines supports that the Albatross, bought at the same time as two planes of the national company - Boeing 767 and 747 - was acquired under opaque and doubtful conditions.

To support its thesis, Francis Nana refers to a document of American justice, containing the declarations made under oath by the chairman of international company GIA, Russel Meek who sold the planes.

A document whose BBC could check the authenticity.

Questioned by a judge in charge of the bankruptcy of his company, Russel Meek tells in particular how several Cameronian persons in charge, whose former Director general of Cameroun Airlines presented himself in 2001 at GIA to buy planes, including one for President Paul Biya and two for Camair.

Mr. Meek affirms to have obtained these customers an installment of 31 million dollars.

For Francis Nana “the presidential plane was paid between 2 and 3 million dollars”.
