Read it:
In 1995 oil was found off a small country on the Gulf of Guinea that one man and his family had ruled since 1979. Within a decade its income per head rivaled Europe's while its people stayed among the poorest on earth. This book follows the oil money from a Washington bank to a Malibu hillside, a Paris mansion, a Canarian ship supplier, an airport with no flights and the family's own companies, and the courts, reporters and leaks that tried to make anyone answer — from a Senate report in 2004 to a yacht seized in Cape Town and two Malabo verdicts in 2025. Covers Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and Riggs Bank, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue and Somagui Forestal, Gabriel Mbega Obiang Lima, and Vladimir Kokorev and Kalunga Company.
