Isabel dos Santos, ex-Angolan president Eduardo dos Santos's daughter, once Africa's wealthiest woman, must surrender one of her last remaining major assets — a lucrative stake obtained in a controversial deal exposed by ICIJ's 2020 #LuandaLeaks.
Dos Santos, at one time the wealthiest woman in Africa, must surrender one of her last remaining major assets, a stake in the Portuguese energy company Galp worth an estimated $500 million, an international tribunal in the Netherlands has ruled.
An international tribunal ruled that the billionaire and her late husband corruptly obtained a lucrative stake from the state oil company Sonangol.
NEW: Together with @BuzzFeedNews and 108 other media organizations we reveal the #FinCENFiles – our latest cross-border investigation.

#FinCENFiles reveals $2 trillion worth of payments – revealing big-name banks (you’ve heard of them) moved suspicious money even after promising officials they would fix money laundering controls.
These global giants have moved masses of dirty money tied to mobsters, fraudsters and corrupt regimes – sometimes it's for people they can’t identify.

My book tracks across #Brazil, #Angola, #Mauritius, #Portugal, #SA, the #USA . It is political. It is about change.

O pensamento linear encaixotado é ruim pra pensar racismo. Pensar que o preto é o maior alvo de racismo tá tranquilo, mas coloca em nível (maior/menor) algo que opera em diferenças utilitárias para o poder dos brancos, para o capital. Não podemos disputar quem sofre mais, mas.. +
Entender que o racismo tb é nos colocar uns contra os outros, mas não nós contra os b(r)ancos. Então, uma das armas aqui é a estereotipia. O congelamento da imagem de uma indivíduo ou povo a revelia da história. Ex: olho puxado, japa, inteligente. Tornar estanque, sem história. +
Então o preconceito com indígenas é muito grande nas áreas em que ocupam suas terras ancestrais. Mas se falamos em natureza, há consensos sobre serem protetores. Por outro lado, é difícil alguém associar a imagem dos pretos à conservação da natureza, apesar da história.. +

@antonioguterres @FUNCA_info @MatthewLeeICP @silas_atefor @AdamShawNY @SaraCarterDC @kristina_wong @allimadi @UN_Spokesperson @StephDujarric Banned Inner City Press asked what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on the #LuandaLeaks & Isabel dos Santos of #Angola, and on pro-dos Santos tweets by Aguinaldo Baptista? Describe the role of the dos Santos family in the SG campaign of Guterres
Though it's hardly surprising that the daughter of 1 of Africa’s longest serving presidents enriched herself through rigged procurement processes- Isabel dos Santos' corruption is an important reminder that the global financial economy is a key enabler of corruption. #LuandaLeaks
The #LuandaLeaks by @PPLAAF & @ICIJorg show how dos Santos built a business empire with more than 400 companies & subsidiaries in 41 countries. Many of these countries are in known secrecy jurisdictions/tax havens like Malta, Dubai, Mauritius & Hong Kong.

@PPLAAF @ICIJorg Over the past decade, these companies got consulting jobs, loans, public works contracts & licenses worth billions of dollars from the Angolan government. The key facilitators of this included Big 4 auditing/consulting firms like @PwC, banks & law firms. #LuandaLeaks
