The investigation into the controversial search operation conducted on July 9 in Ambohibao continues to escalate. After several days of controversy, the Criminal Research Section (SRC) of Fiadanana arrested a man suspected of presenting himself as a technical advisor to the Refoundation presidency. His arrest initially suggested he was the individual who directed the contested operation. However, the presidency quickly clarified that this was another person, also suspected of involvement in several public order disturbance cases, particularly related to the public transport drivers' strike (taxi-be) organized before the June 26 festivities. Facing numerous questions raised by this matter, the presidency's communications director, Harry Laurent Rahajason, visited the SRC offices in Fiadanana on Saturday to verify information. He assured that this step was not intended to influence investigators' work, but to determine whether an arrested person actually claims to hold a position within the presidency. According to him, whenever the name of the head of state or the presidency is used in a legal matter, it is the duty of those responsible to ensure the accuracy of statements to preserve institutional credibility. He also recalled that the Refoundation president, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, has consistently affirmed his commitment to respecting judicial independence. According to information provided, a mediation attempt was nonetheless undertaken to seek the suspect's release, without questioning the normal continuation of the investigation. The suspect should be presented to the prosecutor in the coming days. Meanwhile, one of the main protagonists of the Ambohibao search spoke in a video posted on social media. He claims the group does not act on instruction from the Refoundation president and maintains that participants were present as ordinary citizens, accompanied by law enforcement members. This version contrasts with footage from the operation, in which some of his companions present him as a member of the presidency's staff. This contradiction fuels questions about the true roles played by those present during this intervention. In parallel, Chinese nationals targeted by this search have initiated legal proceedings. They demand the return of items they believe were taken without legal basis, including over 200 million ariary in cash, several million ariary in foreign currency, and high-value phones. These elements are now among the points examined by investigators. Finally, several photographs circulating on social media show one of the instigators of this search alongside the Refoundation president and members of the presidential guard. While these images fuel speculation about possible proximity to the head of state, they do not, by themselves, constitute proof that he held the position of technical advisor or that he acted officially on behalf of the presidency during this operation. This is precisely one of the aspects that ongoing investigations must clarify.
