Vidéo du clan Bongo : Entre trahison, vengeance et manipulation
Le fils du président déchu Ali Bongo Ondimba, Noureddin Bongo Valentin, a récemment divulgué des vidéos secrètement enregistrées avant leur départ du Gabon pour raisons médicales. Ces enregistrements, tournés en présence du procureur général et d’avocats d’État, dévoilent une confession capitale d’Ali Bongo Ondimba : l’aveu formel de la confiscation massive des biens matériels et financiers appartenant au clan, fruit de détournements prolongés des deniers publics durant plus d’une décennie. Cette action vise à illustrer non pas un pillage à d’autres membres du régime, mais une restitution forcée à l’État gabonais, révélant ainsi le fondement légal et moral du coup de libération du 30 août 2023.
