🚨UK SANCTIONS AFRICA’S RICHEST WOMAN

The UK has imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on Isabel dos Santos, the daughter of Angola’s former president, under its global anti-corruption sanctions regime.

Dos Santos is accused of misappropriating over £50 million while heading Angola’s state oil firm Sonangol and £300 million as director of telecom company Unitel. She denies the allegations, calling them a political vendetta.

The billionaire, now reportedly living in Dubai, lost a UK court appeal in September over the freezing of £580 million of her assets. Interpol issued a red notice for her in 2022.
