Baltasar Ebang Engonga has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
A court in Equatorial Guinea found the former senior government official guilty of embezzling government funds.
Engonga became famous after sex tapes involving him and several women leaked online.
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.
The case follows his detention in November, when videos of him with women, including the spouses of other officials, surfaced on social media while investigations into the embezzlement charges were ongoing.
