Justice Department officials are trying to seize more than $70 million in assets — including a Malibu mansion and Michael Jackson memorabilia — owned by the playboy son of the dictator of Equatorial Guinea.
Attempts to reach a spokesman at the Equatorial Guinea Embassy were unsuccessful. The action is the largest effort to date by the Justice Department’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, created this year to target and recover the proceeds of foreign corruption laundered through the United States.
The nonprofit claims credit for exposing Nguema’s mansion overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu in 2006.
In an interview in Cairo last month, Hasham Gaafar, a senior attorney in the Egyptian prosecutor’s office, said Swiss and United Kingdom authorities have been more responsive to Egypt’s request to freeze and seize assets of former president Hosni Mubarak.
The new Ferrari 599 GTO is an extreme V12 berlinetta developed to a specific performance-oriented brief. The Ferrari 599 GTO is, in fact, the company's fastest ever road car. The Ferrari 599 GTO is reserved for just 599 clients who seek the maximum expression of high-performance driving. As is Ferrari's policy, every new Ferrari features new solutions for a road car.
WEIGHT REDUCTION
The Ferrari 599 GTO inherits much of the development work - using the same principles as employed in F1 - that went into making the 599XX such an extreme performance car. Thanks to solutions transferred from the track car to the road-going version, the GTO generates downforce of 144 kg at 200 km/h. The Ferrari 599 GTO has 20" rims.
BRAKES
As well as their role in improving aerodynamics, the Formula 1-derived wheel doughnuts also improve braking efficiency by optimising brake cooling.
CAR-DRIVER INTERFACE
The car-driver interface was designed to maximise car and driver performance with a layout of the main commands that ensures absolute efficiency and minimum distraction. In addition the GTO also features the Virtual Race Engineer, a system that monitors the status of the car and gives the driver immediate visibility of vehicle performance.
