A court in Equatorial Guinea has sentenced Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the former head of the National Financial Investigation Agency, to 8 years in prison and ordered him to pay a fine of $220,000 for embezzling government funds.
According to the Bioko Provincial Tribunal, Engonga was found guilty of diverting travel funds meant for official duties and using them for personal gain. The ruling was confirmed by Supreme Court press director, Hilario Mitogo.
This comes months after Engonga was dismissed from his post following a high-profile scandal that shook entire world.
It isn’t always an easy task when it comes to what people actually think of corruption and embezzlement of government funds.
Some don’t mind about it but for Egoga, his scandal outweighed all the other and that is why he is very famous compared to other people.
