 Aston Martin One-77, Ferrari LaFerrari, Koenigsegg One: 1, Lamborghini Veneno Roadster or McLaren P1. This is just part of the cars confiscated by the son of Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue. They're all heading for the auction now.

 Although Equatorial Guinea is one of the richest states in Africa and many European countries can only look sadly at its large oil reserves, it is also one of the poorest countries in the world in terms of wealth. Most of the profits, according to the server africa-facts.org, which quotes the results of European investigators, into the pockets of only a small group of people, which apparently far away President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo himself.

 In any case, the wealth of his son Teodor Nguem Obiang Mangue, which was seized by the court in The Hague, is significant. Not only did 100 million euros be withdrawn from Swiss accounts, but its collection of 25 incredible cars was seized. They are now going to auction. Cars with a Porsche or Ferrari label are only in the exclusivity tail of this show. Perhaps the most precious piece is Koenigseg One: 1, which produced just six pieces. The price is estimated at $ 1.8 million.

 Behind him is the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, one of nine made cars. Price estimate about $ 5.4 million. The Aston Martin One-77 with a production number of 35 out of 77 costs about $ 1.4 million. Behind them is McLaren P1, Ferrari LaFerrari or Bugatti Veyron 16.4. There is no need to mention others. These are "large series" such as Mercedes-Maybach, Bentley, Porsche… The total cost is at least $ 13 million. Cars are not sold by a private person, but by the Canton of Geneva. The proceeds go to help the poorest back to Equatorial Guinea.

Moreover, it is not the first time that cars have been seized by a presidential son. It happened in 2011, when he was confiscated in France and his cars like Ferrari Enzo, Bugatti Veyron or Porsche Carrera GT sold a total of $ 4 million in 2013.
