Angola's attorney general said on Thursday that he did not rule out issuing an international arrest warrant against billionaire businesswoman Isabel dos Santos, suspected of corruption in her native country and Portugal.
Dos Santos, 47, described by Forbes as the wealthiest woman in Africa, is accused of diverting billions of dollars from state companies during her father Jose Eduardo dos Santos's near four-decade rule of the oil-rich African nation.
Subsequently, Portugal froze her assets in that country, where she has invested mainly in banking and telecommunications.
One of dos Santos's lawyers, Dan Morrison, told AFP this month that Angola's order to freeze her assets was "manifestly unfair, improper" and based on "faked" documents.
There was no immediate response to AFP's request for comment from dos Santos' communications representatives on Thursday.
