Equatorial Guinea’s Baltasar has been remanded in prison for allegedly recording 400 sex tapes while in service
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 sex tapes involving the wives of prominent figures in the country which have led to the arrest of the 54-year-old economist.
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. He faces charges of corruption and embezzlement.
