Son of ex-Angolan president, Filemino Dos Santos bags jail term for fraud
Son of ex-Angolan president, Jose Filomeno dos Santos has bagged a 5 year jail term from a supreme court in Angola for $500m fraud.
The 42-year-old was accused of trying to embezzle up to $1.5bn from the sovereign wealth fund, which he oversaw from 2013 to 2018. He was later charged with stealing $500m from the fund and transferring it to a bank account in Switzerland.
On Friday August 14, judge Joao da Cruz Pitra jailed Jose Filomeno dos Santos, also known as Zenu, for five years.
“For the crime of fraud … and for the crime of peddling influence … the legal cumulus condemns him to a single sentence of five years in prison,” judge Joao da Cruz Pitra said
Ooooh… fraud is evil
Corruption has now become pandemic through out the world. Even he deserves more than that.
The rest of his father,who was the ex president,saved him
Human being can not be satisfied, why are we not contented with what we have. After you have had everything. Nigeria too should emulate those countries that took fighting against corruption seriously in order to reduce how some leaders embezzling our money.
Are you serious I taught its only in Nigeria that it happens
This is always the case with African leaders and government officials. They see the public fund they are meant to work with a small their own private fund. They mismanage it and steal away the money
Because he is the son of a president and he was opportune to get this post, he now stole away the money under his care
This is so unfair
He will now be punished for that act of criminality
Let him go and cool off in the prison
wow
Wish Nigeria can copy this act.
So because his dad is an ex president that’s why he realise that the best way to help the country is to loot there money.
With his father’s status he is still involving in crime,what else does he want.
The weaked are alway go on punished.fraud is evil…he should face is bad doing.
Hmmmm
