Isabel dos Santos said on Tuesday that she will appeal the decision of a Dutch court that found that the businesswoman illegally transferred 52.6 million euros from the Angolan state oil company Sonangol to her company using forged documents.
The decision was dictated by the Business Chamber, a special division of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal, which concluded that the money was transferred from Sonangol via Dutch public limited companies to Isabelle dos Santos and her husband Sindika Dokolo (who died in 2020 Dubai, due to for an accident while diving).
The verdict is cited by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), which initiated the case known as the Luanda Leaks and had access to the document – not yet published – through the Dutch newspaper NRC.
