Equatorial Guinea Argues Luxury Paris Mansion Was Part of Embassy when Raided
- Equatorial Guinea requested the International Court of Justice to issue emergency orders against France regarding a seized mansion linked to Vice President Teodorin Obiang's corruption case.
- French authorities confiscated the mansion after convicting Obiang, imposing a three-year suspended sentence and €30 million in fines in 2021.
- Equatorial Guinea claims the mansion served as its embassy in France and that France's actions breached the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations.
- The International Court of Justice previously sided with France, determining that the mansion was Teodorin Obiang's residence, not a diplomatic site.
