High-ranking Equatorial Guinea official Baltasar Engonga has allegedly been spotted being questioned by authorities in a viral video.
The video shared by Nigerian blogger Tunde Ednut reportedly showed Baltasar Engonga in a brown V-neck uniform calmly answering questions in Spanish from an official.
He was reportedly arrested on November 4, 2024, as part of a fraud investigation.
During the inquiry, officials uncovered 400 videos of Engonga in alleged intimate encounters with various individuals, including relatives of government officials.
These videos, reportedly found stored on multiple CDs, were allegedly recorded with consent but have now leaked online.
While the government’s main focus remains on fraud charges, reports indicate that Engonga may also face prosecution over potential health risks, including allegations of potentially transmitting STDs to his partners.
