Equatorial Guinea’s ambassador to Belgium and the European Union, Miguel Oyono Ndong Mifumu, says his country’s diplomats will remain in the Paris mansion confiscated from Teodorin Obiang, even if it is sold. France has received 15 bids to acquire the property and must complete the sale before 23 December, Radiomacuto reports.
Miguel Oyono Ndong Mifumu, Equatorial Guinea’s ambassador to Belgium and the European Union, threatened on Monday 19 October to keep regime diplomats in a building confiscated in Paris, even if it is sold, Radiomacuto reports. The building, at 42 avenue Foch, has 106 rooms.
French courts definitively confiscated the property in 2021 from Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, Equatorial Guinea’s vice-president and son of President Teodoro Obiang. Convicted in the ill-gotten assets case, he received a three-year suspended prison sentence. Five Equatorial Guinean diplomats already occupy the building, according to reports on their occupation.
