An investigation by an international consortium of investigative journalists (ICIJ) suggests that Isabel dos Santos benefited from the immense opportunities provided by José Eduardo dos Santos, former president of Angola and father of Isabel dos Santos, while running the country.
Get to know the documents in detail that were revealed by the international consortium of investigative journalists.
The Luanda Leaks have 715,000 documents, including e-mails, contracts, audits, and accounts that were obtained by a platform for whistleblowers in Africa (PPLAAF), which was later shared with ICIJ.
It should be noted that Isabel dos Santos had already denied having benefited from the State of Angola, and says that there is a concerted attack on the country’s current governance against her, with political motivations.
The documents to which ICIJ had access refer to an opaque network with 400 companies, many of them offshores, linked to Isabel dos Santos, and her husband, Dokolo and her associates, and also the assistance given by European and American companies.
The documentation indicates that Sonangol sold Dokolo a stake in Galp, valued at 750 million euros after a loan of 11 million euros.
