Libreville — The wife and son of Gabon’s former president have been transferred from prison to house arrest, though it is unclear when they might stand trial for alleged financial crimes. Sylvia Bongo, 62, and Nourredin Bongo, 33, were taken into custody shortly after Ali Bongo was toppled in a military coup more than a year-and-a-half ago.

Nineteen months after overthrowing President Ali Bongo, whose family ruled Gabon for more than half a century, Nguema, 50, has pitched himself as a change agent cracking down on the corrupt old guard.

O líder do golpe no Gabão, Brice Oligui Nguema, está tentando consolidar seu poder enquanto o país centro-africano produtor de petróleo realiza eleições presidenciais neste sábado, que analistas esperam que sejam unilaterais. Dezenove meses após derrubar o presidente Ali Bongo, cuja família governou o Gabão por mais de meio século, Nguema, de 50 anos, se apresentou como um agente de mudança reprimindo a velha guarda corrupta.
