Equatorial Guinean Court Remands Former DG Engonga Remanded In Prison Amid S*x Scandals

A court in Equatorial Guinea has ordered the remand of Baltasar Engonga, the country’s former Director-General of the National Financial Investigation Agency in Equatorial Guinea, in prison.

It was learnt that the embattled former head of the anti-graft agency was currently remanded in Malabo’s Black Beach Prison amid s*x scandals.

Last week, Baltasar Engonga was arrested for allegedly having extramarital relationships with the sister of the country’s president and the wives of notable people.

It was learnt that the illicit affairs were seen in s*x tapes recovered from his house in the course of a fraud investigation against the 54-year-old economist which resulted in the search of his house and office on impromptu notice.

The building was searched by anti-graft officials who came across several CDs that later revealed his s*xcapades with different married women.

The video showed contacts with high-profile individuals such as his brother's wife, his cousin, the President of Equatorial Guinea's sister, the Director-General of Police's wife, and the wives of over 20 of the country's ministries, among others.

On Wednesday, SaharaReporters reported that Baltasar Engonga had been sacked as the director general of the National Financial Investigation Agency.

He was later replaced with Zenón Obiang Obiang Avomo following a shocking s*x scandal involving public officials, according to a media outlet based in Equatorial Guinea, Ahora EG.

The scandal surfaced during a fraud investigation into the 54-year-old economist, resulting in a fact-checking report published Wednesday, Dubawa verified that Engonga had indeed been taken into custody on corruption charges and is currently being held in Black Beach Prison.
