💸 Isabel dos Santos: Africa’s Richest Woman or Master of Deception?

Isabel dos Santos, once hailed as Africa’s wealthiest woman, stands at the center of a sprawling corruption scandal. The 2020 Luanda Leaks exposed how she allegedly siphoned billions from Angola's state coffers through offshore schemes, fraudulent invoices, and forged documents. As chair of Sonangol, Angola’s state oil company, she is accused of embezzling $219 million between 2016 and 2017. A Dutch court confirmed she illegally diverted €52.6 million from Sonangol to a company she controlled. Her empire spanned over 400 entities across 41 countries, with 94 in tax havens. Interpol issued a red notice in 2022, accusing her of embezzlement, fraud, and money laundering. Despite these allegations, she resides in Dubai, evading extradition. In 2023, the UK froze £580 million of her assets after a lawsuit by Unitel, Angola’s telecom giant, accusing her of looting the company. She denies all charges, labeling them as politically motivated.
