Equatorial Guinea urges UN to block the sale of a Paris mansion seized by France
ÎLE-DE-FRANCE, FRANCE, JUL 15 – France seized a Paris mansion worth over €100 million after convicting Equatorial Guinea's vice president of corruption, prompting a legal battle over diplomatic immunity claims at the ICJ.
- Equatorial Guinea has asked the International Court of Justice to prevent France from selling a Paris mansion seized after the conviction of Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue for corruption.
- France seized the mansion, valued over 100 million euros, after convicting Obiang of amassing his fortune fraudulently and gave him a suspended sentence and fine.
- The ICJ had previously ruled in France's favor, saying the mansion was not an embassy, after Equatorial Guinea claimed diplomatic immunity for the building.
