leaders discovered 400 films of Engonga allegedly having personal meetings with a variety of people, including government leaders’ family, during the investigation.
These movies were purportedly recorded with approval but have now leaked online.They were supposedly discovered on several CDs.
Although fraud charges continue to be the government’s primary emphasis, sources suggest that Engonga may also be prosecuted for possible health dangers, such as allegedly spreading sexually transmitted diseases to his partners.
“Equatorial Guinea speaks 3 languages. Spanish, Portuguese and French. In the video the language spoken is Portuguese. He is being asked what he thinks of the videos going around the internet and he said he won’t speak until he has his lawyer. That’s the much I could grasp”
