Angola’s prosecutor general has promised to use “all possible” means to bring Isabel dos Santos back to the country after leaked documents showed she was allowed to buy valuable state assets in a series of suspicious deals when her father was president.
Ms Dos Santos says the allegations against her are entirely false and that there is a politically motivated witch-hunt by the Angolan government.
Prosecutor Helder Pitra Gros told Angolan public radio:
“We will use all possible means and activate international mechanisms to bring Isabel dos Santos back to the country… We have asked for international support from Portugal, Dubai, and other countries.”
She is already under criminal investigation by the authorities in Angola for corruption and her assets in the country have been frozen.
The revelations came to light after BBC Panorama and other journalists were given access to more than 700,000 leaked documents about the billionaire’s business empire in what has become known as the Luanda Leaks.
