This week, the United States District Court for the Central District of California granted a motion for summary judgment to Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, Equatorial Guinea’s Vice President, which dismissed the U.S. government’s claims that the Vice President had violated the laws of his country. The District Court of Los Angeles ruled that the government did not have probable cause to bring those charges.
