💨 Abstract

Lawyers for Equatorial Guinea accused France of "neo-colonial" behavior, urging the International Court of Justice to block the sale of a seized mansion in Paris. The case revolves around assets confiscated from Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, the son of Equatorial Guinea's president, during a corruption investigation. Equatorial Guinea seeks provisional measures to return the mansion and prevent its sale, arguing that France's actions violate international law and their sovereignty.
