JOHANNESBURG — An Angolan court has ordered the freezing of assets held by former president Eduardo dos Santos’ daughter Isabel, state news agency Angop reported on Tuesday, the latest high-profile case in the government’s anti-corruption drive. Isabel dos Santos has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. We will continue, every day, in every business, doing our best and fighting for what I believe in for Angola. According to Angop, the court ordered the freezing of bank accounts in Angola, dos Santos’ stake in telecoms firm Unitel and bank Fomento de Angola (BFA), among other assets. Angola is probing allegations made by her successor at Sonangol that dos Santos authorized offshore payments days after she was dismissed from Sonangol.
