Equatorial Guinea’s Supreme Court acquits Engonga

Must read

Equatorial Guinea’s Supreme Court has cleared Baltasar Engonga, the former Director-General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), of misconduct charges related to explicit videos leaked on social media.

The court determined that all the relationships depicted in the videos were consensual, finding no evidence of coercion, abuse of authority, or assault.

The scandal involved videos showing Engonga in intimate encounters with multiple women, some reportedly filmed in his office.

One of the women, described as light-skinned and married, claimed that certain recordings were made without her consent, although others were consensually filmed and later deleted.

She expressed regret over the public leak, stating that the videos were never intended for distribution.

While the court’s decision has concluded the legal proceedings, the case continues to spark debates in Equatorial Guinea’s political and social circles.

Engonga’s acquittal raises broader issues about privacy, consent, and the ethical implications of sharing personal recordings in the digital era.
