The former Director-General of the National Financial Investigation Agency in Equatorial Guinea, Baltasar Engonga, has been remanded in Malabo’s Black Beach Prison.
The former anti-graft chief was
being investigated for alleged fraud when
it was discovered that he had allegedly recorded over 400 s*x tapes
involving the wives of prominent figures in the country.
This led to the arrest of the
54-year-old economist.
Equatorial Guinea’s President,
Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, also dismissed Engonga.
According to Decree No.
118/2024, dated 4th November, the dismissal was due to “irregularities
committed in the exercise of his functions, as well as inappropriate family and
social conduct for the performance of public duties.”
A viral video surfaced on
social media on Friday, Nov. 8, showing Engonga's hands and legs cuffed during
a court appearance.
Equatorial Guinea?s Baltasar
remanded in prison for allegedly recording 400 s*x tapes.
Confirming the situation,
French online blog Afrikmatin reported that Engonga, who was officially removed
from his role on November 6, 2024, was subsequently chained and transferred to
Malabo Central Prison. He faces charges of corruption and embezzlement.
