Equatorial Guinea President’s Son Convicted for Selling National Airline Plane

By Marie

Equatorial Guinea’s ruling family, Ruslan Obiang Nsue, son of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, has been convicted for the illegal sale of a national airline aircraft. The Supreme Court ruled that Obiang Nsue, 50, who formerly served as director of the state-owned airline Ceiba Intercontinental, sold an ATR 72-500 plane to a Spanish company and pocketed the proceeds. The court sentenced him to six years in prison, but offered an alternative: he could avoid jail if he reimburses the airline approximately $255,000, along with additional fines and damages owed to the state.
