Equatorial Guinea government lawyers displayed a contract in court Friday as proof that British ex-military officer Simon Mann played a key role in a plot to overthrow the nation's president, Teodoro Obiang, four years ago.

Mann identified his signature on the contract -- also signed by Moto -- and on financial statements and other documents as his trial entered a fourth day.
