Paris (AFP) - A French appeals court ruled Tuesday that Teodorin Obiang, son of Equatorial Guinea's long-running dictator, does not have immunity for prosecution on embezzlement charges.

Obiang, one of the country's vice-presidents, was charged by French prosecutors in March 2014 with money laundering and misappropriating millions of dollars in public funds.

Thank you French prosecutors.What are our English prosecutors doing for Ghanaians about our corrupt leaders who come on vacation and spend senselessly in London. They look on and say nothing. Is there any moral justification for Britain to continue to aid African countries whose leaders are nothing but looters?

Do you support the GH¢1 fuel levy imposed by government to address the electricity challenges?
