Brazil has charged Teodoro Obiang Mangue, Vice President of Equatorial Guinea, with money laundering for using stolen public funds to acquire a $2.5 million apartment and attempting to enter the country in 2018 with $16 million in cash and luxury items.

The Brazilian Federal Police’s investigation revealed that the funds were linked to illicit activities.

Obiang, the eldest son of Equatorial Guinea’s president, has faced similar money laundering investigations in both France and the United States.
