Baltasar Engonga, the former Director-General of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), has been remanded in Malabo’s Black Beach Prison following shocking revelations uncovered during a fraud investigation.
The 54-year-old economist, previously responsible for tackling financial misconduct, now faces serious allegations, including the recording of over 400 intimate tapes with married women, some reportedly connected to high-profile figures.
ANIF officials discovered these recordings during a search of Engonga’s home and office, where a trove of CDs detailing these encounters was found.
This scandal has led to widespread outrage and debate over ethics within government ranks, with many calling for stricter accountability measures.
Engonga’s imprisonment has added fuel to discussions around the integrity of Equatorial Guinea’s public officials, as authorities scramble to address the reputational damage.
Lawmakers are already responding by pushing forward regulations on public officials’ conduct, particularly concerning privacy and power abuse.
Engonga’s legal proceedings will continue as the nation watches closely for further developments in this high-profile case.
