Director General of Equatorial Guinea’s Financial Investigation Agency, Baltasar Engonga, Detained for Alleged Sex Tape Scandal Involving High-Profile Figures
In a shocking scandal that has rocked Equatorial Guinea, Baltasar Engonga, the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), was arrested for allegedly recording over 400 sεxtapes featuring the wives and female relatives of prominent individuals in the country. The tapes, discovered during a fraud investigation, reportedly include encounters with relatives of top officials, including the President’s sister and the wives of over 20 government ministers.
Authorities reportedly discovered the videos stored in Engonga’s office, revealing his extensive involvement with married women and influential figures in the country. Local media sources state that some videos were even filmed within his government office, with the national flag visibly present in the background. The scandal, unprecedented in the nation’s history, has triggered public outrage and forced the government to take immediate action.
Government Response to Scandal
The Vice President of Equatorial Guinea, Nguema Mangue, condemned the actions on social media, stating that the behavior blatantly violated the country’s Code of Conduct and Public Ethics Law. In response, all officials involved in similar misconduct within government offices have been suspended as part of a broader “zero tolerance” initiative to protect the integrity of public service.
Legal and Health Concerns
Attorney General Nzang Nguema addressed the legal dimensions of the scandal, noting that consensual sεxual acts are not classified as a crime unless coεrcion is proven. He also raised public health concerns, warning that these activities could expose multiple people to potential health risks, adding urgency to the government’s efforts to maintain high ethical standards.
This high-profile scandal is expected to reshape the rules around ethical conduct within public institutions in Equatorial Guinea.
