Isabel Dos Santos, living in exile in Portugal, insists she is a scapegoat in a bigger scheme of things.

Spokesman for the Angolan Attorney General Alvaro Joao says the prosecution hasn’t seized the assets abroad of Isabel Dos Santos but will not hesitate to do this if necessary.

Joao says the case being built against the former president’s daughter is civil one designed to recoup debts  owed to the state.

Criminal corruption  charges have not been laid.

Isabel can opt to repay the debts now and avoid further action or she can choose to let the court process take its course.
