Equatorial Guinea’s Supreme Court Acquits Former ANIF Director-General Baltasar of Misconduct in Social Media Video Scandal, Citing Consensual Relationships

Equatorial Guinea’s Supreme Court has acquitted Baltasar Engonga, the former Director-General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), of all charges related to a high-profile scandal involving explicit videos leaked on social media.

Despite the widespread dissemination of videos showing Engonga in intimate encounters with multiple women—some filmed in his office—the court ruled that all relationships were consensual. According to the judges, there was no evidence to suggest coercion, influence, or any form of assault.

Key Court Findings

  • Consent Affirmed: The court emphasized that all women involved were adults who willingly engaged in the relationships.
  • No Coercion or Force: Judges found no proof that Engonga pressured or manipulated the women into participating.
  • Health Concerns Addressed: Medical reports confirmed that Engonga did not transmit any sexually transmitted diseases to his partners.

One woman, reportedly light-skinned and married, alleged that some encounters were filmed without her consent, though others were recorded with her approval and later deleted. She expressed deep regret over the video’s leak, claiming they were never meant for public distribution.

“I feel broken and humiliated,”

she said in an interview with a local media outlet.

Engonga, however, denied responsibility for the leak, maintaining that the videos were private and shared consensually.

What’s Next for Baltasar Engonga?
As the scandal fades from the court’s purview, attention now shifts to the fallout in Equatorial Guinea’s political and social spheres. Baltasar Engonga’s acquittal raises questions about privacy, consent, and the potential misuse of personal recordings in the digital age.
