The first French trial against African kleptocrats opened on January 2, 2017. It targeted Teodorin Nguema Obiang Mangue, the Vice-President and son of the long term tyrant of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.  Todorin Nguema Obiang Mangue was convicted of embezzlement and  given a three-year suspended sentence in absentia and a €30milliion fine.  His luxury private mansion and assets located in Paris were seized. Equatorial Guinea  appealed the decision to seize the mansion, but the court's decision was upheld last year. Now, the dictator, under the cover of the state of Equatorial Guinea,  has filed  a case with the International Court of Justice against France over the confiscation of the  luxury mansion and other assets.
