The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists reports:
It’s been nearly three years since ICIJ’s Luanda Leaks investigation exposed how decades of corrupt deals turned Isabel dos Santos into Africa’s wealthiest woman – and drained hundreds of millions in public money out of one of the world’s poorest countries.Since then, the Angolan billionaire’s business empire has largely been dismantled, battered by investigations in multiple countries, frozen assets, lawsuits, audits and more sparked by ICIJ’s reporting.Now, Isabel dos Santos herself is wanted for arrest by the international police organization Interpol.The agency issued a “Red Notice” request, which is a call to law enforcement worldwide “to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action.”Dos Santos, the daughter of Angola’s ex-president who autocratically ruled the country for decades, has homes in Dubai and London and is believed to visit Portugal often.
