President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea has officially dismissed Baltasar Ebang Engonga from his role as Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), following his recent imprisonment on corruption charges linked to a high-profile scandal involving explicit videos.
The presidential decrees formalizing this decision were issued on Wednesday, November 6, 2024.
Zenón Obiang Obiang Avomo, a seasoned legal expert and former magistrate at Equatorial Guinea’s Court of Accounts, has been appointed as the new Director General of ANIF. Obiang Avomo holds a law degree from the National University of Equatorial Guinea (UNGE) and has a distinguished career in government, with experience as a Magistrate Judge in Malabo, Director General of Contract and Market Studies at the Ministry of Finance, and General Secretary roles within the Ministry of Finance, Economy, and Planning, as well as Mines, Industry, and Energy.
This prompt appointment of Obiang Avomo is part of the government’s efforts to restore public confidence in ANIF as it seeks to overcome the fallout from the recent scandal.
