Tropical Guinea has demanded the lifting of “unilateral and illegal” sanctions forced for defilement by the United Kingdom against the child of the leader of this Central African country, in an explanation delivered Saturday by the Equatorial Guinean authorities.

Teodorin Obiang Mangue, VP of Equatorial Guinea and child of the president, was endorsed on Thursday by London for the “misappropriation of public assets” and pay-offs that empowered him to back a rich way of life.

He purportedly spent more than $500 million on extravagant homes all throughout the planet, a personal luxury plane, vehicles, and collectables identified with the vocalist Michael Jackson.

“The unwarranted authorizations forced by the British government are advocated by the controls, lies (…) that some non-administrative associations advance against the great picture of Equatorial Guinea,” as indicated by the assertion of the specialists, which alludes to “unilateral and illegal” sanctions.

The VP “has not made any interests in the United Kingdom,” they proceeded.

The authorizations, which incorporate a resource freeze and prohibitions on passage to the UK, were taken as a feature of an enemy of debasement sanctions system that had effectively rebuffed 22 people from six unique nations, including Russia, in April.

The Equatorial Guinean specialists reject “legitimately unwarranted authorizations”, demand “that they are lifted as quickly as time permits” and see “as an antagonistic motion the mentality of the British government”.

“The actions we have taken today target people who have enhanced themselves to the detriment of their residents,” British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said in an articulation Thursday. The VP of Equatorial Guinea was endorsed for, in addition to other things, “misusing public cash from his own ledger” and “requesting pay-offs.”

“The UK’s choice to endorse Teodorin is very positive news for individuals of Equatorial Guinea,” Tutu Alicante, head of the banished Equatorial Guinean basic freedoms NGO EG Justice, responded in an explanation. “This is a positive development, an update that debasement is anything but a harmless wrongdoing,” he kept, noticing that a large portion of the country’s 1.4 million individuals lives without admittance to “clean water and nice schools.

Tropical Guinea has been administered for over 41 years by 79-year-old Teodoro Obiang Nguema, and Teodorin, who has been inescapable on the public scene for over a year, is being introduced increasingly more transparently as his “replacement.

This country with an economy truly at half-pole because of the fall in hydrocarbon costs since 2014, on which it is 90% ward, has given 95 billion CFA francs to Defense (140 million euros) in its 2020 spending plan against 59 billion to Education (90 million euros).

In France, in the supposed “poorly gotten gains” case, Teodorin Obiang was condemned on request on February 10, 2020, to three years in jail with a suspended sentence, 30 million euros in fines and seizure of his resources in France. The last decision by the Court of Cassation – the most elevated court in the French legal framework – is normal on July 28.
