The US has imposed visa restrictions on Isabel dos Santos, often described as Africa's richest woman, for her involvement in significant corruption by misappropriating public funds for her personal benefit. A statement from US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken says her name appears among a list of other people from across the globe accused of corruption who are facing US sanctions. Mr Blinken's statement does not go into details about what Ms Dos Santos is accused of having done. The documents showed how she and her husband were allowed to buy valuable state assets in a series of suspicious deals. Ms Dos Santos said the allegations against her were entirely false and that there was a politically motivated witch-hunt by the Angolan government.
