Description

Over 42 years since the bloody coup that took him to power, President Teodoro Obiang holds the dubious honor of being the world’s longest-serving political leader. While 70 percent of Equatorial Guinea’s people remain trapped in extreme poverty, he and his family have been accused of squandering their country’s oil wealth on lavish mansions, private jets, and — most notoriously — Michael Jackson’s $275,000 crystal-studded glove.

While Obiang ruled with an iron fist, the Credit Suisse account was held by his wife and twin sons.
