For years the fortunes of Teodoro Teodorin Nguema Obiang Mangue mirrored those of his country, Equatorial Guinea, as it rose to become one of sub-Saharan Africa s biggest oil producers.
The son of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo enjoyed a lavish lifestyle in California and France.
His good times abroad contrasted starkly with the lives of most of his fellow citizens, who saw little trickle-down from the oil revenue.
Now the funding for his lifestyle has been exposed as embezzlement, as Teodorin faces a criminal conviction in France, sanctions in the UK and a record for corruption in the US.
