Swiss court finds Brenda Biya guilty of defamation, scandalous financial revelations made
The February pronouncement by a Swiss court against the daughter of Cameroon’s president came Four years after an international businesswoman and artist, Denicia, sued the former for defamation in the US and Switzerland. But since Brenda lives in Switzerland, it was said that the two courts in California and Switzerland would look into the matter.
Denicia wrote on her social media handle, “This case has been ongoing since 2021. I am pleased that justice will be served, as this case will set a significant precedent. It is a victory for every African, every hardworking African girl, and every Cameroonian who has been oppressed by Brenda Biya or any politician. This is truly a David and Goliath moment. As I have said before, I do not care how many years it takes or how much it costs; I will see this through. This is just one battle; the war is still ahead.”
In February, Brenda was found guilty of defamation in a Swiss court but what was more shocking was the revelation about her expenditures.
Brenda had written on her social media pages while in Switzerland that Dencia was a whore, a drug addict and dealer.
According to Swissinfo.ch, a penal order was signed by the Attorney General Olivier Jornot.
While she refused to list her sources of income, the trail revealed that Brenda has been living in the Intercontinental Hotel since she was 12 years old, where a suite costs €40,800 per night (26.2 million FCFA).
According to the investigation, these costs, as well as those of his father Paul Biya, would be covered by the Cameroonian public treasury, All Africa revealed in a report.
During the proceedings, Brenda confirmed that she has been frequenting the hotel since she was 12.
According to the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), “President Paul Biya spent nearly $177 million on his private stays in Geneva between 1982 and 2018.”
“This was long suspected to be the case and has now been confirmed,” says Pilet, calling it a scandal. “It can be assumed that the hotel stays are paid for from the Cameroonian state coffers; just like the Geneva visits of President Paul Biya, which have long been publicly known.”- Swissinfo.ch wrote
