Arrest warrant will not stop dictator’s daughter

-

Isabel dos Santos, who was Africa’s richest woman until her assets were frozen as part of a billion-dollar corruption investigat­ion, is considerin­g running for president of Angola, where her father was the strongman for almost four decades. Dos Santos, 49, has remained defiant despite being the subject of a new internatio­nal arrest warrant issued by Interpol. Angolan prosecutor­s accuse Isabel dos Santos of causing more than US$5 billion (NZ$8 billion) in losses to Angola during her father’s 38-year rule. Reports of her extravagan­ce earned her the unaffectio­nate local nickname of ‘‘princess’’.
