A circulating claim alleges Fofana Amaral, a senior QNET/The V figure and RHDP political operator in Daloa, received about $10,000 from QNET-linked sources tied to applying political or governmental pressure against a protected target. Public materials and CEI records support his QNET rank and 2025 RHDP suppléant status, but no payment or instruction records are documented.
