Equatorial Guinea Files Case Against France at International Court
Dispute centers on luxury Paris mansion seized in corruption probe
Equatorial Guinea has filed a case at the International Court of Justice accusing France of violating international law by seizing a luxury Paris mansion linked to Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue.
The property was confiscated as part of a corruption investigation that found he spent state funds on lavish assets, including sports cars and art.
Equatorial Guinea argues the seizure breaches diplomatic protections, while France maintains the move was legally justified to combat illicit enrichment.
