The son of Senegal's ex-President Abdoulaye Wade has been freed from prison after receiving a presidential pardon, the government has said.
Karim Wade served three years of a six-year sentence for illegally enriching himself during his father's rule.
He left Senegal immediately after his release for Qatar, a justice ministry spokesman said.
Karim Wade was charged with corruption after President Macky Sall took power in elections in 2012.
