Colonel Claude Pivi is a Guinean military and political figure, member of the National Council for Democracy and Development (CNDD) and a Minister since December 2008. In 2013 he was charged in connection with the Guinea stadium massacre of 28 September 2009, in which 157 were killed by troops.[1] The BBC describe Pivi as a "leading figure in the CNDD military junta led by Capt Moussa Dadis Camara at the time of the massacre".[1] In November 2023, he was broken out of prison by armed commandos allegedly led by his son.[2][3] The Guinean junta promises a reward of 54,000 euros for the capture of Claude Pivi.[4]
