UK sanctions Angola's Isabel dos Santos over £350M embezzlement, targeting other corrupt actors too.

The UK has imposed sanctions on Angolan billionaire Isabel dos Santos, accusing her of embezzling over £350 million from state-run companies. Dos Santos, the daughter of Angola's former president, faces a travel ban and asset freeze as part of the UK's new anti-corruption drive. The sanctions also target Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash and Latvian politician Aivars Lembergs, aiming to create a hostile environment for corrupt actors.
