Equatorial Guinea: Legal Action Against President

The Spanish NGO, Equatorial Guinea Solidarity Forum (FSGE) announced this week that it is to lodge a lawsuit in the Spanish courts calling for the investigation of bank accounts in the name of Equatorial Guinea's President. The move follows the US Senate's report last week which found around $700m in the Washington-based Riggs bank in accounts under the names of Obiang, his family and associates.
