Jean-Claude Bastos is a close friend of former president Eduardo dos Santos’s 39-year-old son Jose Filomento.

He was put in charge of Angola’s sovereign wealth fund that generated $90 million between May 2014 and the end of 2015.

Bastos salted away $40-million in profit for himself and invested the rest in the British Virgin Islands.

Oil-rich Angola tops the list of Transparency International’s corrupt countries.

The majority of  Angolans live in abject poverty and it has among the highest child mortality rates in the world.
