The son of Angolan dictator José Eduardo dos Santos, José Filomino was appointed head of Fundo Soberano de Angola (FSDEA), Angola’s $5 billion sovereign wealth fund, at just 35 years old.
After his father’s notoriously corrupt 38-year rule came to an end in 2017, José Filomino was sentenced to five years in prison in Angola for embezzling $500 million from FSDEA in a scheme involving transfers to a Credit Suisse account in London.
