“At this moment, the concern is to notify [the suspects] and assure that they voluntarily come to face justice,” Hélder Pitta Gros said in Luanda late on Wednesday, according to Portugal’s Lusa news agency. Failing that, his office would resort to legal instruments at its disposal, one being an international warrant.
He resigned as chair of Banco de Fomento Angola on Monday, according to his resignation letter, which was seen by Reuters. The letter made no reference to recent events linked to Dos Santos, citing instead a December decision by BFA’s controlling shareholder Unitel not to name him among board members for the next three years.
EuroBic, a small Portuguese bank in which she owned a large stake, said on Thursday that she has decided to sell the stake. In Portugal, Angola’s former colonial power, Dos Santos holds significant stakes in several major firms including communication and entertainment giant NOS and oil firm Galp Energia. Pitta Gros arrived in Lisbon on Thursday to meet his Portuguese counterpart Lucilia Gago.
