Ingenuity my foot,

Be specific

American army is the biggest criminal organisation in the world.
American government are sponsoring all over the world to get cheap material for the companies.

France and UK are also criminals.
Maybe because they are not totally occupying your land that's why you praise them.

I DID'NT SAY SO BUT BLACK ARE SENSELESS WHEN IT COMES TO DEFRAUDING THEIR NATIONS WHEN IN POSITION, NIGERIA IS A CASE STUDY, IF YOU MUST STEAL WHY NOT USE THE FUND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR COUNTRIES INSTEAD OF TAKING IT TO WESTERN COUNTRIES THAT IS ALREADY DEVELOPED,

Isabel dos Santos, Africa’s richest woman has been charged with fraud which took place during her stewardship of state-owned oil firm Sonangol.
Angola’s billionaire former first daughter Isabel dos Santo’s has been charged in the southern African country with money laundering and mismanagement during her stewardship of state-owned oil firm Sonangol, the Angolan prosecutor general announced on Wednesday.

Hundreds of thousands of files about dos Santo’s were obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and released by several news organisations on Sunday, dubbed the “Luanda Leaks”. They allege the daughter of ex-president José Eduardo dos Santos plundered state coffers to build her fortune, estimated at $2.1 billion (€1.82 billion).

“Isabel dos Santo’s is accused of mismanagement and embezzlement of funds during her tenure at Sonangol and is thus charged in the first instance with the crimes of money laundering, influence peddling, harmful management…forgery of documents, among other economic crimes,” prosecutor general Helder Pitta Gros told a news conference late Wednesday.

Portuguese news agency Lusa quoted Pitta Gros as saying that dos Santos had not directly shown any interest in collaborating with Angolan authorities. “At the moment, the concern is to notify and get them to voluntarily come to justice,” he added.

Dos Santos, who was chairwoman of Sonangol from June 2016 to November 2017 and amassed her fortune during her father’s decades-long presidency, could not immediately be reached for comment but has denied wrongdoing.

Investigations were opened after her successor Carlos Saturnino raised the alarm about “irregular money transfers” and other dodgy procedures.

Dubbed Africa’s richest woman, dos Santos is accused of using her father’s backing to plunder state funds from the oil-rich but poor African country, and of building her business empire by moving the money abroad with the help of Western firms, including transfers between Angola and Dubai.

Pitta Gros said dos Santos was among five suspects, all of whom were currently residing abroad.

Stakes held in major Portuguese companies

In Portugal, dos Santos holds significant stakes in several major firms including NOS and oil firm Galp Energia. Soon after the Angolan prosecutor’s announcement, dos Santos announced her decision to sell her stake in Portuguese bank Eurobic, the small lender said on Wednesday.

Dos Santos is Eurobic’s main shareholder but the bank said she had decided to withdraw from its shareholding structure and sell her stake. In a statement sent to Reuters, Eurobic said the selling process of the 42.5% stake had already started and dos Santos’s decision was “final”.

A spokeswoman for Portugal’s public prosecutor’s office confirmed to Reuters that Angola’s Pitta Gros and Portugal’s attorney general, Lucilia Gago, will meet in Lisbon on Thursday. She did not say what they will discuss.

Frozen assets in Angola

She stopped living in Angola after her father, who ruled the country with an iron fist for nearly 40 years, stepped down in 2017 for his anointed successor João Lourenço.

Angolan authorities froze Isabel dos Santos’s assets in the African country in late December following allegations by prosecutors that she and her husband Sindika Dokolo had steered payments of more than $1 billion from state companies Sonangol and Sodiam to firms in which they held stakes. Dos Santos and Dokolo denied wrong doing.

Even the Americans and Europeans are not exempted. Only celebrity/sports men, become millionaires, and perhaps inventors. Normal worker, whether private or public can't become stinkingly rich in those continents either, except through shady deals as well.
No "working" country design her economy to make any employee, trader in buying and selling, or public office holder to be stinkingly rich. They only cheat the system.

Yes , you didn't say so . But you implied it.



No one cursed any race !

You would do some if you were in her shoes .

The foundation of wealth is murky irrespective of where you come from or your race; some are just better at PR than others. Don't be naive bra

tstx:


You did not even bother to read the article

Yes I did. She was charged with money laundering and mismanagement during her tenure in her country's version of NNPC between 2016 and 2017. She was already a billionaire in dollars at the time, yet she was still stashing away dollars from her country's oil reserves. Money is never enough for some people

Riele:


Alakija is the richest Black woman .

what race is Isabella dos Santos?....white?

Is that DJ Cuppy?

To become filthy rich in africa, u have to stain your hands with some kinda illegal business transactions!!!!

Every filthy rich modaFvcker in Africa, has been involved in one or two illegalities before

Riele:


Alakija is the richest Black woman .

Nah.

Isabel Dos Santos is black too. So how can Alakija be the richest black woman?

This is her father's picture by the way, Jose Eduardo Dos Santos

Don't know why, but I read Corupt in bubu's tone

Alakija is not the Richest Black woman. Isabel Dos Santos is black. As is Oprah.

God I want to be Africa's richest woman one day too

Her father Edwardo dos Santos was a big disappointment. Angola ought to be a socialist country. Now the President's daughter has soiled her hands.

She wasn't parading herself. She was being celebrated as Africa's richest women by Forbes and d media. They all celebrated her "achievements" when it was obvious even to d blind that her success was because her father was president of Angola.

Are you sure you know the meaning of ingenuity?

I mean Larry Page (Google), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Larry Ellison (Oracle), Bill Gates (Microsoft), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), etc.

These are amazingly talented people whose tech products transformed our world, making them stinking rich.

In Nigeria ba!

Is Alakija not black and African at the same time. To those wondering if Alakija is the richest woman, I think she and this lady go back and forth on the list just like Bezos and Gates. Stock prices goes up and down.

dominique:
All the wealth she amassed as daughter of the president no do her. This woman's greed is out of this world. Diezani dey learn work where she dey

Catch am, catch am! Thief, thief, thief!

The only thing I can code here is, most wealthy people are thieves. And I still disagree...

What the person means is that you can always find people who've built up actual industries and companies. Corruption yes but Amazon is a real firm in a real industry employing ppl (some it treats bad some good,depending on skill level and ofc legal loopholes), shell is real, facebook makes billions, siemens makes appliances, Microsoft... etc. There are hundreds of firms with revenues in the billions and thousands more in the millions

Point is that in Africa where innovation is low has a lot of suspect wealthy ppl. As u cannot name one thing that a friend of urs in toronto or London would need of Dangote or Alakija or Dos Santos. One item in their homes that come from any of those ppl.. whereas u are indebted to several intl companies for almost everything, from ur car to ur pc/phone, router, fan, bulb, switch, books to even ur toiletries..

They get political advantages thru cronyism and either build something impressive (dangote , Adenuga) or just remain at the level of pure thievery (dos santos abacha) and/or undeserved advantage (eg atiku, alakija etc). You cannot comfortably say that the wealth would be replicated without the favorable access or in more competitive economies, like what u have in the west..

That comment is FACT.

Nope. But counties like Finnland, Sweden, infact, the Scandinavian countries are trying to adopt such a system which always doesn’t work.
