Africa’s richest woman, Isabel dos Santos, has been exposed by leaked documents revealing her accumulation of wealth through corruption and exploitation.

The leaked documents disclose how Ms. dos Santos, the daughter of Angola’s former president, had privileged access to valuable state assets and the ability to acquire them. She was involved in transactions relating to natural resources and state assets during her father’s presidency. Recently released documents unveil the intricate details of how she along with her husband managed to obtain state assets through questionable deals. More than 700,000 documents outlining Ms. dos Santos’ business activities are now accessible to the public and press.

Ms. dos Santos’ assets in Angola have been frozen, and she is currently facing a criminal investigation. Andrew Feinstein, the head of Corruption Watch, pointed out that the leaked documents demonstrate the exploitation of Angola’s assets and resources to the detriment of ordinary Angolan citizens. Feinstein stated, “Every time she is featured on the cover of a luxurious magazine somewhere in the world, every time she hosts one of her extravagant parties in the south of France, she is doing so at the expense of the aspirations of the people of Angola.”

On her part, Ms. dos Santos refutes all accusations made against her, claiming they are part of a witch hunt orchestrated by the prevailing Angolan government. She is currently residing in the UK.
