Teodorin Obiang, who’s the son of his country’s president is accused of plundering $115m.

Teodorin Obiang owns luxury properties, yachts, cars – and Michael Jackson’s crystal glove

He’s luxuriated in spectacular mansions in Malibu and Paris, traveled in expensive sports cars, yachts and a private jet, amassed a multi-million-dollar art collection and once went on a reported $80 000 shopping spree at Gucci.

Increasingly, justice seems to be catching up to the, 47-year-old son jet setter not in his impoverished homeland, but in the western nations where he flaunts his allegedly ill-gotten gains.

Obiang’s not expected to be present and he reportedly will plead not guilty to charges of corruption, money laundering and embezzlement of public funds.

The trial is groundbreaking in France, a favorite haunt for African leaders with questionable fortunes.
