Equatorial Guinea Govt Takes Legal Action Against Engonga Over $3x Tapes Scandal

Equatorial Guinea’s government has taken a legal action against the country’s strategic $3xer, the former Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), Baltasar Engonga, over the $3x tapes scandal linking him with more than 400 married women.

Engonga was fired after over 400 $3x tapes featuring him with wives of prominent men, including his brother’s wife, surfaced online.

Vice-President Teodoro Mangue emphasized that any official engaging in $3xual acts at work would face sanct!ons, describing it as a “flagrant violation of the code of conduct.”

The government, however,  condemned Engonga’s actions, perceiving it as a violation of the country’s ethical and moral values.

Minister of Information, Jerónimo Osa Osa announced a thorough investigation into the scandal, stating that Engonga’s actions “severely undermine family and social cohesion” and damage the country’s reputation.

Osa said, “The investigation will focus on establishing responsibilities at administrative, civil, and criminal levels, considering the possibility of a public health impact.

“Measures will also be taken to address violations of privacy, damage to individuals’ honor and prestige, and the rights of those harmed,” he added.

Recall that Engonga’s scandal surfaced during a fraud investigation, which led to the discovery of the $3x tapes in his office.

The tapes which were reportedly recorded with the consent of the married women involved in the act, have since leaked online, causing a public outcry.
