Isabel dos Santos, the daughter of former Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, says she will cooperate with the country’s authorities in a bid to clear her name and find the truth.
Isabel is accused of mismanagement and misappropriation of funds during her time as chairwoman of state oil company Sonangol.
She denies any wrong doing.
“What I want to resolve as quickly as possible are the attacks on my reputation and my good name,” Bloomberg quotes Isabel.
“I’m available, as I always have been, to cooperate with justice and to provide all the necessary clarifications so that the truth prevails.”
Angola’s chief prosecutor said in January that an international arrest warrant for Isabel could be issued if she fails to appear to cooperate with the investigation.
Her whereabouts remain unknown.
She has in the past said the allegations against her are politically motivated.
Isabel owns 50 percent of the holding firm ZOPT, Portugal’s first four play operator with products which include mobile phone services, broadband and a TV cable operator broadcasting Warner Bros and Disney releases.
Angolan courts froze her assets in December alongside those of her husband’s after it was alleged that the two took part in deals with state-owned companies that ended in government losses of $1.14 billion.
