Gabon, 1967 to 2026. For fifty-six years one family, Omar Bongo and then his son Ali Bongo Ondimba, ran a small oil state, and the money left in ways other countries recorded: per-barrel payments from Elf, a New York private bank that called the president self-made as a result of position, a lobbyist's wire to Malta, Paris apartments, cash-bought Maryland houses. In 2023 the president's cousin seized power and put the family's last circle on trial; the former first lady and her son were sentenced in absentia and deny it. Covers Omar Bongo Ondimba and Elf's André Tarallo, Sylvia Bongo Ondimba and Noureddin Bongo Valentin and the Young Team, Brice Laccruche Alihanga and Operation Scorpion, and Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema and Gabon's special criminal court.
