by In Switzerland, the collection of cars belonging to Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo – the former vice-president and son of the president of Equatorial Guinea – was sold at auction. A total of 25 supercars fetched $27 million. 
The cars were seized in a money laundering case along with a mansion in Paris. Obiang himself received a three-year suspended sentence and a $20 million fine.
