FRANCE CHARGES 5 MORE MEMBERS OF GABON RULING DYNASTY IN €85 MILLION FRAUD CASE

On 30 July, Yahoo News reported that France has charged 5 more children of former Gabonese president Omar Bongo in a long-running inquiry into the financing of the late president’s real estate empire, said to be worth €85 million.  They have already charged 4 other adult children, as well as a former Miss France, for allegedly accepting Parisian apartments from the late President.  Omar Bongo, a close French ally, ruled the oil-rich state from 1967 until his death in 2009, when he was succeeded by his son Ali Bongo Ondimba. He had 54 children.
