Top Govt Official Arrested For Sextapes With President’s Sister, Ministers’ Wives, Others

Following a fraud investigation carried out against the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF) in Equatorial Guinea, Baltasar Engonga, the 54-year old economist has been arrested for allegedly recording over 400 sextapes of his escapades with different women.

The sextapes showed his sexcapades with different married women that included the country’s president’s sister, minister’s wives, amongst many other women that were carried out in his office, apartments and hotels.

In his swift reaction to the development, the Vice President of Equatorial Guinea, Nguema Mangue, on Monday, Octber 4, 2024, said that Engonga’s behaviours violated the country’s Code of Conduct and the Public Ethics Law.

The sextapes were uncovered and recovered from Engonga’s house and office following a raid by the officials of the agency he heads, the ANIF.

According to local media platform, the ANIF officials were said to have come across several CDs that later showed Engonga’s sextapes that indicated that he had affairs with the spouses and relations of high-profile individuals, including his own (Engonga’s) brother’s pregnant wife, his cousin, the sister of the President of Equatorial Guinea, the Director General of Police’s wife, and about 20 of the country’s ministers’ wives, among others.

It was gathered that the recovered videos in his office were said to have been recorded with consent and has since been leaked online.

One of the reports by a local media platform, Ahora EG, said that since last October, Engonga has been involved in a sexual scandal unprecedented in the history of Equatorial Guinea.

According to Ahora EG; “The most striking thing is that some scenes took place in his work office, including moments in which he is seen sleeping with a woman next to the National Flag.

“Based on this sexual scandal, the Executive has stated that the measure is a direct response to the acts that have affected the image of the country.

“With these new measures, the Government hopes to establish a clear precedent on the expected conduct of public officials in order to create a more respectful work environment in the public and private administration of Equatorial Guinea.

“For days now, erotic videos have been circulating on social media featuring Baltasar EBANG ENGONGA, better known as ‘Bello’.

“Baltasar EBANG ENGONGA is said to have filmed these scenes with the consent of the women themselves, which exonerates him from a possible crime of violation of integrity,” it said.

In the videos, Engonga is seen having unprotected sex with several women, including those married to powerful and well-known people in the country, but also with the most “diva and influential” single women in Equatorial Guinea.

Some of the scenes in the videos took place in hotel rooms, houses, even in the protagonist’s office at the Ministry of Finance.

Speaking on the viral sextapes, the Attorney General of Equatorial Guinea, Nzang Nguema, said since the videos suggest that the women involved were not forced to participate in the various acts, the law does not consider consensual sexual relations to be a crime, unless coercion or violence is proven.

In the words of Nguema; “The possibility of a contagious disease being spread through these sexual interactions makes the situation even more critical”.
