Angolan Vice President Manuel Vicente, will face trial in Portugal, over allegations of bribe, to drop two investigations against him.
Vicente, who was the president of Angolan national oil company Sonangol at the time of the alleged crimes, is accused of bribery, money laundering and document falsification.
A trial court has also ordered former Portugese prosecutor, Orlando Figueira, who was arrested in 2016, to be tried, on suspicion of receiving money from Vicente.
Until news of the corruption scandal emerged last year, the 61-year-old had been strongly tipped as a potential successor to long-time ruler, Jose Eduardo Dos Santos.
