Parliament has now ruled her absenteeism amounts to “unjust enrichment.”

At home, Ms Dos Santos was an influential figure in the Angolan media and controlled one of the leading advertising agencies.

While in the UK, she has regularly taken to social media to criticise her father’s successor, Joao Lourenco.
