Thione Seck on Thursday told a court in Senegal he is innocent of a crime of money laundering.

The popular Senegalese singer was charged four years ago with money laundering after fake banknotes worth millions of euros and dollars were found in his house.
His lawyers at the time say he was the victim of a swindle and the money was paid to him by a producer as an advance for an upcoming tour.
On Thursday, the 64-year-old appeared before a judge and maintained his position of non-culpability. Seck has at least four decades under his belt as a musician.
