A high-profile corruption case in Equatorial Guinea has ended with an eight-year prison sentence for Baltasar Ebang Engonga, a senior government official and former head of the national financial investigation agency.

Engonga was convicted by the Bioko provincial tribunal for embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars through falsified professional travel expenses, according to Hilario Mitogo, the Supreme Court’s press director. He was also fined $220,000.

Beyond the financial scandal, Engonga—nicknamed “Bello”—gained international notoriety after explicit sex tapes involving him and the wives of other officials surfaced online. Some videos were allegedly filmed inside his finance ministry office, sparking a wave of internet memes, parody songs, and jokes about a fictional virility drug called “Balthazariem.”

The case has drawn global attention to issues of corruption and misconduct in the oil-rich Central African nation, where political and financial scandals often go unpunished.
