December 21, 2017: Angola\u2019s state oil company (Sonagol) has announced an investigation into \u201cpossible misappropriation\u201d of funds by Isabel dos Santos, the daughter of the former president, during her time as the company\u2019s chief executive.<\/div>\n<\/header>\n
\n
\n

\u201cWe have established an internal commission of inquiry to investigate the information published,\u201d Sonangol spokesman Mateus Benza said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are verifying possible misappropriation, but I can\u2019t yet confirm anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Appointed head of Sonangol by her father Jose Eduardo dos Santos in 2016, dos Santos was replaced last month by Angola\u2019s new president Joao Lourenco.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, several Angolan media outfits have accused dos Santos of ordering suspect transfers and payments worth tens of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

According to the Novo Jornal and the Jornal Economico, the new leadership at Sonangol had identified a suspect transfer of 57 million euros ($67 million) to Dubai.<\/p>\n

Investigators are also probing a monthly payment that began when Isabel became the head of the state oil giant of 10 million euros to a Portuguese company in which she was the principal investor.<\/p>\n

It was reported that the new head of Sonangol has written to his predecessor to demand explanations as well as alerting law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors in the capital Luanda told AFP<\/span> on Tuesday evening that they had not received a formal complaint.<\/p>\n

Isabel has flatly denied any misconduct and instead alleged that there is a \u2018campaign of defamation\u2019 going on against her.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
In a statement denying the allegations, Dos Santos noted that \u2018no clarification on these matters was ever requested from the previous Administration, and therefore, it can not be at fault with the provision of any information.\u2019 and that \u2018the previous team was always available to clarify any doubts that might arise regarding their management.\u2019<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The new Angolan president Joao Lourenco has been championing reforms since he took office in August, firing over 60 government officials including Isabel Dos Santos. He is tasked with diversifying the oil dependent Angolan economy and tackling corruption that was fueled by nepotism during the years o Eduardo Dos Santos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
