Mr Baltasar Ebang Engonga, a former senior government official, has been sent to jail by a court in Equatorial Guinea.
It could be recalled that he trended months ago after a video of an office romance scandal went viral.
He has now been sentenced to eight years in prison for embezzlement.
According to Hilario Mitogo, press director of the Supreme Court, the Bioko provincial tribunal found Engonga guilty of diverting funds meant for professional travel expenses for personal use.
He was also fined $220,000.
Engonga, a former head of the national financial investigation agency, was tried alongside five other senior officials accused of misappropriating hundreds of thousands of dollars in public funds.
In November, videos of him with women, including the spouses of other officials, surfaced on social media.
Investigations into the embezzlement charges were ongoing at the same period.
