The military, which seized power on September 5, 2021, has made the fight against corruption reputed to be endemic in the West African nation.
But the announcement, made in a letter from the justice minister to public prosecutors, marks a new stage in the fight, targeting Conde by name, as well as many of his senior officials and former ministers.
They include ex-prime minister Ibrahima Fofana and the former ministers of defence, economy and trade as well as a number of presidential advisers from the Conde government.
The letter orders prosecutors to pursue the people listed for alleged acts of corruption, illicit enrichment, money laundering, forgery and use of forgeries in public writing, embezzlement of public funds and complicity.
The poor but mineral-rich West African state has been under military government since the coup that ousted Conde after more than ten years in power.
