Angola’s prosecutor general has promised to use all possible means to bring Isabel dos Santos, the daughter of the country’s former president, Jose Eduardo dos Santos back to the country to face corruption charges.
Leaked documents allegedly showed she was allowed to buy valuable state assets in a series of suspicious deals when her father was president.
Ms Dos Santos has denied all allegations levelled against her, calling it a 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.”
Isabel dos Santos is under criminal investigation by the authorities in Angola for alleged corruption and her assets in the country have been frozen.
