Equatorial Guinea - The Wonga Coup

Merz and Du Toit grew to know each other and Merz helped supply planes and air crew for Du Toit's aviation company PANAC. Central Asian Logistics provided an Antonov and an Ilyushin 76. Merz also contracted an Armenian flight crew through a firm called Tiga Eiri. Du Toit later recalled: "These agreements were brokered by Mr Gerhard Merz on my behalf sometime in December 2003. The two aircraft were brought to Malabo on the 8 and 10 January 2004 respectively." On 12 February Mann, through his Logo Logistics paid Merz's air company nearly $125,000. Investigators later concluded that Merz had joined the plotters as their 'transportation officer'. He would pay a heavy price.[1]
