José Eduardo dos Santos left office in 2017 after three decades in power and was succeeded by Joao Lourenço, a man he trusted who, since coming to power, has launched numerous anti-corruption campaigns against the former president's close circle.

According to this document, Isabel dos Santos is wanted for "crimes of embezzlement, swindling, illicit participation in business, criminal association and influence peddling, as well as money laundering", amounting to some 200 million euros, with a maximum penalty of 12 years in prison.

On the other hand, and "in view of the news published about the international arrest warrant", an official source of Isabel dos Santos has assured that he is unaware of Interpol's instructions and is intrigued that the businesswoman is being sought, after "almost three years of existence of such processes", in which "she "never constituted herself as a defendant".
