Gambian authorities seize ex-president Jammeh's bank accounts

DAKAR, May 22 (Reuters) Gambian authorities have seized assets including 86 bank accounts and 131 properties linked to former president Yahya Jammeh, an official said today, as an investigation into the veteran ruler's wealth gathers pace.
The new government has accused Jammeh of massive fraud including siphoning off public money during his 22-year rule that ended in election defeat and disgraced exile in Equatorial Guinea in January.
Jammeh has been out of contact since leaving for exile and his associates no longer respond to journalists' queries about the accusations against him.
