GENEVA - A collection of luxury supercars seized from the extravagant vice president of Equatorial Guinea as part of a corruption probe were auctioned in Switzerland on Sunday. The sale -- organized by London-based auction house Bonhams -- saw 25 vehicles sold that once belonged to Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, the son of the central African nation's longtime leader. Swiss authorities confiscated the luxury stash of vehicles from Obiang in 2016 after an investigation into money laundering. His father, Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who seized power in a 1979 coup, is the longest-serving head of state on the continent.
