The Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency in Equatorial Guinea, Baltasar Engonga, has been dismissed following the discovery of over 400 explicit videos involving him with high-profile women across the country.
The dismissal, ordered by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, was confirmed by Real Equatorial Guinea, which referenced Decree No. 118/2024, issued on November 4.
According to the decree, Engonga’s removal was due to alleged professional misconduct and personal behavior deemed incompatible with his public position.
The scandal surfaced during a fraud investigation involving the 54-year-old economist, leading to a surprise search of his house and office by ANIF officials.
During the search, they uncovered several CDs containing explicit videos that revealed his sexual encounters with different married women.
One of the women involved has since committed suicide. It has not been confirmed whether Engonga will face prosecution for his actions.
