The United States brought a lawsuit requesting forfeiture of a \($38.5\) million jet purchased by Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue (“Nguema”) because the government believed the jet had been purchased with funds derived from extortion, misappropriation, theft, and embezzlement. Nguema was Equatorial Guinea’s Minister of Forestry and Agriculture and the son of Equatorial Guinea’s president. The United States brought the lawsuit to enforce U.S. anti-money-laundering laws and prevent the United States from being a haven for the proceeds of illegal activity abroad. A motion to dismiss was filed on the basis of international comity, based on the argument that adjudicating the case might require the U.S. court “to pass judgment over Equatorial Guinea’s application of its own laws.” Do you think the doctrine of international comity bars this lawsuit?
