Rapper EVE Called to Testify in Foreign Corruption Case admin Wednesday, February 10, 2010 $1 Rumors We guess love is truly blind. Rapper/Actor/Entrepreneur, E-V-E, was recently called to Federal court to explain her involvment (or no-involvement) in a foreign corruption case. The case centered around her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Teodorin Nguema Obiang, claims that he spearheaded the flow of millions of dollars into U.S. territory from the West African country of Guinea. According to ABCNews: Obiang used middle men – lawyers, escrow and real estate agents, and in one case, his then-girl friend, the statuesque rapper-actress Eve Jeffers – to allegedly set up shell companies in the U.S. Through those, investigators say, Obiang wired in funds that enabled him to buy luxury cars, a $30 million Malibu estate and place a down payment on a Gulfstream jet. Two Los Angeles lawyers allegedly carried out most of the scheme. They were summoned to testify before the senate today to explain why they set up shell companies on Obiang’s behalf. Eve has a cameo in the report, as the president of what senate investigators described as a shell company. Obiang called it “Sweet Pink, Inc.,” which was evidently set up in late 2005 “to employ individuals at the home [Obiang] maintained before he purchased the Malibu Property and to handle payroll and other matters related to the employment of those individuals,” according to the report.It is unclear if the money may have also helped Obiang finance his elaborate efforts to woo Eve, which included setting up a record label and reportedly paying $700,000 to rent Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen’s300-foot yacht Tatoosh for a romantic Christmas cruise around St. Barts. This three year investigation conducted by the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investgation raised awareness on the various gateways foreign officials flow “bad” money into the American financial system. Representatives for Eve have yet to make a statement on her behave.
