Equatorial Guinea Official Arrested Over Scandal Involving Explicit Videos of Officials’ Wives

Baltasar Engonga, who is the head of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), has been arrested after a shocking scandal emerged. The 54 year old official was already being investigated for fraud when authorities discovered over 400 explicit videos during searches of his home and office.

The videos were alleged to have involved the wives of several high ranking officials in the country, including the wife of the police chief, the sister of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, and the wives of various government ministers.

The recordings took place in multiple locations, including Engonga’s office, where, at times, the national flag could be seen in the background.

The issue has quickly become one of the biggest in the nation’s recent history, as both citizens and officials express their shock at these revelations.
