Baltasar Ebang Engonga, a nephew of Equatorial Guinea's President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, who was at the centre of a sex tape scandal last year, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for embezzlement.
The former head of the National Financial Investigation Agency diverted money for personal use, a court ruled.
Nicknamed 'Bello' for his good looks, the married Engonga gained notoriety last year when he appeared in leaked videos having sex with different women - many of them wives and relatives of people close to the political elite.
The leak occurred while he was in detention, accused of depositing a huge sum of embezzled money into secret accounts in the Cayman Islands.
He was found guilty along with five other officials who allegedly claimed the money as an allowance for travel, with the amounts ranging from $9,000 (£6,600) to $220,000.
Engonga's arrest last October and public humiliation were seen as attempts to thwart his hopes of becoming the next president of the oil-rich central African state.
His uncle has been in power since 1979 and appointed his son as vice-president.
Engonga, who once investigated crimes like money laundering, was ultimately imprisoned alongside accusations of corruption.
His personal devices were seized, leading to the dissemination of intimate videos online, the authenticity of which has never been confirmed. Suspicion arose that elements within the security forces may have leaked the material to damage his reputation.
In addition to the prison sentence, the tribunal imposed a fine of $220,000 on Engonga.
