The Isle of Man's found itself linked to another huge trove of leaked documents about possible wrongdoing in international finance.

The Luanda Leaks look at dealings by Africa's richest woman, Sindika Dokolo - the daughter of a former leader of Angola.

Investigators are looking into claims she stole billions of pounds from the country and hid her fortune around the world.

One claim being looked into is how a Portuguese bank she part-owned set up an account for a shell company in the Isle of Man which then received a $50 million transfer.
