Mamadie Touré is the widow and youngest of Lansana Conté's, the former president of Guinea, four wives.[1][2][3][4][5]

Her name appears in numerous investigations into the activities of Pentler Holdings, who 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]
