As the director of private banking at EuroBic, Ribeiro da Cunha was responsible for several multimillion-dollar transfers from a Sonangol account to a company in Dubai, according to documents released by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists earlier this week. The prosecutor’s announcement marks a further step in the unravelling of Isabel dos Santos’s business empire and a dramatic reversal of fortune for the 46-year-old, who has always portrayed herself as a self-made woman who amassed her wealth of an estimated $2bn through hard work.

Her brother, Jose Filomeno, the former head of Angola’s $5bn sovereign wealth fund, has been on trial since December for his involvement in a $500m transfer from the central bank to an account in the UK during the final days of his father’s rule.
