New allegations
against the winner of the Miss Universe competition claim that Miss Angola,
Leila Lopes, falsified documents to enter and win a qualifying contest in
England.
The Argentinian
newspaper Infobae published a report Thursday alleging that Lopes was unfairly
allowed to participate in a Miss Angola competition for Angolan citizens living
in the UK, even though she has never lived outside of Angola.
The report claimed
that a man named Charles Mukano helped falsify documents identifying Lopes as a
student of business management at a British school, enabling her to enter and
win the contest there. Infobae cites reports in Angolan media that allege that
Mukano may have even bribed judges in England to ensure Lopes’s win.
The Miss Universe
pageant said they will comment on the matter sometime today.
Lopes was the first
Miss Universe from her country, but came under attack in the following days by
Miss France and fans of Miss Phillipines as undeserving of the crown.
