Equatorial Guineaโs viral โBelloโ is back on Google Trends โ but this time, the story ends behind bars.
Short gist: The man at the center of the Baltasar Ebang Engonga xxx video saga โ the same โBelloโ linked to 400+ leaked sex tapes โ has now been sentenced to 8 years in prison in Equatorial Guinea. And no, the jail time isnโt for the tapes; itโs for embezzlement of public funds. The clips made him trend; the charges put him away.
Who is Baltasar Ebang Engonga (โBelloโ)?
Baltasar Ebang Engonga (popularly called โBelloโ) is a former top official and ex-head of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), and a nephew of the president. He became an internet obsession after hundreds of explicit videos โ allegedly recorded across offices, hotels and more โ spilled online and dominated searches like โBalthazar Engonga video,โ โEngonga last tape,โ and โEquatorial Guinea sex scandal.โ

Why did he get jail time, if not for the videos?
Courts in Equatorial Guinea convicted him of embezzlement โ specifically, diverting public money by claiming fake travel expenses for personal use. The Bioko provincial tribunal handed him an 8-year sentence and a hefty fine. Translation: the xxx tapes fueled the buzz, but the money trail sealed the case.
So whatโs this โlast clip before jailโ gist?
As the sentencing news hit, Google searches spiked again for things like โBaltasar Engonga last video before prisonโ, โBello unseen tapeโ, and โfinal Engonga videoโ. Fans of the saga keep asking if thereโs a final โunseenโ clip he made right before going in. Whether that rumored clip exists or not, hereโs what matters for the record: heโs in jail for embezzlement โ not the sex tapes.
Timeline recap (quick scroll):
- Late 2024: Authorities probe Engonga over public funds; investigators reportedly find hundreds of explicit videos on his devices. Government vows crackdowns and office surveillance.
- 2024โ2025: Clips keep leaking; Google searches surge worldwide; social feeds coin him the โAfrican Diddyโ and โBello.โ
- August 2025: The Bioko provincial tribunal convicts him of embezzlement and sentences him to 8 years in prison, plus a significant fine.
Why the story keeps trending
Itโs that cocktail of power (a politically connected official), scandal (leaked explicit videos allegedly with powerful families), and a clear legal outcome (an 8-year term). Add in the rumor of an โunseen last clipโ and youโve got search-engine rocket fuel.
Bottom line: The court punished embezzlement, not the xxx tapes โ but the tapes are why everyone knows his name.
