In the letter to which Lusa had access, the five organizers ask Hélder Pitta Grós to investigate the crime of "criminal association practiced by the MPLA's direction led by Mr. José Eduardo dos Santos [former president of the Republic] who institutionalized the policy of primitive accumulation of capital" which translated into the practice of corruption crimes.
The current President João Lourenço is also targeted, since the letter asks the PGR to investigate "how he became one of the owners of Banco Sol and Banco Angolano de Investimento", as well as the civil and criminal liability of his chief of staff, Edeltrudes Costa, based on accusations of illicit enrichment made by TVI.
The promoters of the demonstration also want to ascertain the responsibilities of José Eduardo dos Santos and other strong men of his regime, Generals Leopoldino Fragoso do Nascimento "Dino" and Hélder Vieira Dias "Kopelipa" and Manuel Vicente, former vice-president and former president of Sonangol, in the creation and hiring of the company Trafigura by the Angolan State.
