The Attorney General of the Republic of Angola stated today in Luanda that the Angolan authorities are still waiting for businesswoman Isabel dos Santos to be notified in Dubai about the charges against her.
Hélder Pitta Gróz said today in Luanda that they are still awaiting responses to some requests made to the Dubai authorities. His statements to the press were made on the sidelines of the launch of the Manual of Action Against Human Trafficking for professionals in Angola’s criminal justice system.
According to the Angolan Attorney General (PGR), this “is the fundamental step” to move forward with the case against Isabel dos Santos, daughter of the former President of Angola, José Eduardo dos Santos.
Isabel dos Santos, who has lived outside Angola for several years, is accused of 12 crimes in a case involving her management of the state oil company Sonangol between 2016 and 2017.
Regarding the case of the former Vice President of Angola, Manuel Vicente, Hélder Pitta Gróz said that the PGR is still working on it.
“I believe we are on a good path and will have some answers soon,” he emphasized.
The PGR stressed that when international cooperation is requested, it is necessary to wait for responses.
