Six French soldiers are reportedly behind bars in Equatorial Guinea.
Local media reports say the soldiers have been detained for landing a helicopter without authorization.
According to reports, the helicopter landed in Equatorial Guinea’s mainland port of Bata on Wednesday because it needed to refuel.
The helicopter is said to have landed hours after a French court upheld a sentence against Equatorial Guinea’s Vice President Teodoro Obiang for accumulating luxury property with illegally accumulated funds.
