]]> In Angola, the son of former President Jose Eduardo dos Santos has been arrested on suspicion of money laundering, embezzlement of public funds and fraud.

Jose Filomeno dos Santos was sacked in January as manager of Angola’s $5-billion sovereign wealth fund.

Jose Filomeno dos Santos is the most high profile target in President Joao Lourenco’s fight against corruption in the oil rich state he has been at the helm of since Jose Eduardo dos Santos stood down last year.

The former President’s daughter Isabella, who is reputedly the richest woman in Africa, has been relieved her job as head of Angola’s state-owned oil company.

Jose Filomeno’s Swiss-Angola friend Jean-Claude Bastos has also been arrested.
