Ivory Coast cocoa story journalists face trial

ABIDJAN (Reuters) - Three journalists arrested on suspicion of stealing public documents from a judicial inquiry into graft in the cocoa sector may face trial within two weeks, their lawyer said.

Police seized the editor, managing editor and director of publications at Le Nouveau Courier daily on Tuesday after the paper published the findings of a report into graft allegations against former officials from the Coffee and Cocoa Bourse (BCC) and other regulatory bodies. Reuters Africa
