France Seizes Paris House of E’Guinea Leader's Son

French investigators have seized a Paris townhouse belonging to the son of Equatorial Guinea's president as part of a money-laundering probe, a judicial source said on Friday.

Millions of euros worth of art, antiques and other valuables were seized in February from the same six-floor building which is owned by Teodoro Obiang, agriculture minister and son of the small oil-rich African state's president, reports Reuters.
