3 African Presidents Sued for Embezzlement
By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
Anticorruption activists filed a lawsuit in Paris on Tuesday against the presidents of Gabon, the Congo Republic and Equatorial Guinea, accusing them of acquiring luxury homes in France with embezzled public money. The French chapter of Transparency International, the nongovernmental group Sherpa and a Gabonese citizen sued Presidents Omar Bongo Ondimba of Gabon, Denis Sassou-Nguesso of the Congo Republic and Teodoro Obiang of Equatorial Guinea, and several of their associates, the plaintiffs said in a statement. Citing dozens of expensive properties, the plaintiffs said there was no doubt that these assets could not have been acquired with the sole salaries and benefits of these heads of state.
