Angola vows to bring back billionaire dos Santos over graft claimsA trove of leaked documents allege that Isabel dos Santos, the billionaire daught of Angola's ex-president, amassed her wealth by plundering state fundsLUANDA - Angolan prosecutors vowed on Monday to use "all possible" means to bring back Isabel dos Santos, the former president's billionaire daughter, after thousands of leaked documents brought new allegations she siphoned off hundreds of millions in public money. The 46-year-old dos Santos is already being investigated as part of an anti-graft campaign launched by Lourenco, who has vowed to root out corruption. Dos Santos herself told BBC Africa the file dump was part of a "witch hunt" meant to discredit her and her father. Dos Santos said on Wednesday that she would consider running for president in the next election in 2022. "We have also taken action to terminate any ongoing work for entities controlled by members of the dos Santos family," it added in a statement.
