He ruled out the figure of Manuel Vicente, former Vice-President of the Republic of Angola, and Joaquim David, a former member of the Government, among the company’s 11 partners.

“Somoil is a public limited company, and none of these names that have appeared in the press are part of the group of shareholders.”
