Some $16 million in cash and luxury watches were seized at an
airport in Brazil in the luggage of a delegation accompanying Teodorin Nguema
Obiang, vice-president of Equatorial Guinea and son of its longtime president,
Teodoro Obiang Nguema.
TV network Globo said Obiang was the only member of the
delegation who had diplomatic immunity as the group was not on an official
mission.
Brazilian law prohibits people from entering the country with more than 10,000 reais (£1,800), in cash.
Equatorial Guinea said the money was to pay for medical treatment Obiang was to undergo in São Paulo. As for the watches, they were for the “personal use” of the president’s son, and were engraved with his initials.
