Two Nigerians, former Governor of Delta state, James Ibori and former Managing Director of Oceanic Bank, Cecilia Ibru, have made Google’s list of the world’s most corrupt home owners.
They were listed among the owners of valuable property acquired with stolen funds and corrupt means.
Former Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, former President of Zaire, Mobuto Sese Seko, Imelda Marcos, wife of former President of the Philippines and Teodorin Obiang, the son of President Obiang of Equatorial Guinea also made the list.
The Google release wrote:
