The son of Equatorial Guinea's leader was handed a 30-million-euro fine by a
Paris court Monday on top of a suspended jail term for using public money to fund a jet-set lifestyle in Europe.
Teodorin Obiang, the son of Equatorial Guinea's leader Teodoro Obiang Nguema, had been convicted in 2017 of embezzlement.
Obiang, who is also vice president, challenged the penalty only to have the Paris appeals court return a heavier sentence on Monday by removing the suspended provision from the fine.
