Absence of former director of Angolan demining institute leads to trial postponement

RTP Notícias14 September 2026 at 17:30

Angola's Supreme Court has postponed the start of the trial of the former director of the National Demining Institute. The postponement was due to the inability to notify the defendant, who is outside the country. A judicial source confirmed the decision to postpone the trial because it was not possible to locate or formally communicate with the defendant. The article does not specify what crimes the former director is accused of, nor are there further details about the case.

Why this matters

The postponement prevents the legal proceedings against the former official from advancing, leaving unresolved a case involving an Angolan public body. The inability to notify the defendant raises questions about the capacity of the Angolan judicial system to hold public officials abroad accountable.
