Not to be confused with Mamadi Touré.

Her name appears in numerous investigations into the activities of Pentler Holdings, which is said to have transferred through a network of shell companies at least one payment of $2.4 million US—with more pledged—to her offshore company, Matinda, in return for her help obtaining a concession in Simandou mine from her husband shortly before his death.[6]

Beny Steinmetz, an Israeli diamond mining magnate, was convicted of corruption for the bribe.[7]
