Bento dos Santos (Kangamba) is an Angolan general; he is husband to Avelina, the niece of the President Jose Eduardo dos Santos. The General is the owner of the company Organizanção BK, and this company is in turn the owner of the Tchegi diamond mine, in the municipality of Lucapa. This mine was inaugurated recently by the mines minister, Francisco Queiroz, and it will make its owner USD$1.5 million each month. This sum will help Bento dos Santos fuel his extravagant lifestyle, which he is well-known for in France, Portugal and Brazil and has bought him to the attention of the authorities in these countries. Bento dos Santos is also a stakeholder in the Sociedad Minera de Tchegi together with state-owned Endiama Hipergesta, the holding company of MLPA foundation, which is managed by Catalina Policarpo and local firms Somia and Ysakama.
