The son of Angola’s ex-President Jos\u00e9 Eduardo dos Santos has been formally accused of fraud over the alleged illegal transfer of $500m (\u00a3350m) from the central bank to the UK.<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9 Filomeno dos Santos is also barred from leaving the country, deputy Attorney General Luis Benza Zanga said.<\/p>\n
Mr Dos Santos is the highest profile person targeted in new President Jo\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o’s anti-corruption drive.<\/p>\n
He had led oil-rich Angola’s sovereign wealth fund during his father’s rule.<\/p>\n
