Utilisation du gain issu du ‘‘broutage’’ à abidjan (use of the "broutage" profit in abidjan)

The digital revolution is accompanied by a pernicious evil which is '' browsing ''. As a criminal activity that generates income, "grazing" has become a "professional" activity among some young people in Abidjan. The objective of this study is to know the sectors in which the money acquired through the "browsing" is generally injected and to know the beneficiaries. The methodology is based on a documentary and field research among the populations. The analysis of the data, in this case the qualitative analysis, was very useful in the conduct of this study, because it allowed to analyze the speeches of the respondents. The results show that the sums of money illegally acquired by the "grazers" are used differently by the latter. If some people use this money to lead a merry life by distributing them in social parties, others instead reinvest it in several sectors of activity. Through these various investments, cybercriminals certainly create jobs, but such investments or financing constitute money laundering. Such a situation raises a real ethical problem which calls for reflections.
