The Lisbon Relaçao Court has dismantled the entire architecture proposed by the Prosecutor's Office to unleash a spectacular operation. The magistrates spread numerous criticisms of the work of the prosecutors who, on occasion, came to be called "inept." They consider that until the interrogations of the five detainees in November, there was no evidence of the crimes observed.

The only specific event carried out by the prime minister was attendance at an event to present the data center in Sines of the company Start Campus, the judges point out in the resolution released by the court. "From a relationship of friendship with a member of the Government, also publicly assumed and reiterated by both protagonists, must the conclusion be reached that there was influence peddling, active or passive corruption or prevarication?", the magistrates question. The close relationship between Costa and Costa has been called into question by the judges in the 366-page resolution. The case that led to the resignation of António Costa as Prime Minister of Portugal last November has been questioned by judges. The Prosecutor's Office detained the five main defendants for a week, who were released by the decision of the investigating judge Nuno Dias Costa. The new resolution punctures the work of prosecutors even more since it withdraws the last precautionary measures imposed on Lacerda Machado and Escária. Joo Galamba, who was not arrested, but was charged by the prosecutors of Operation Influencer, is related to his desire to promote the Start Campus project in Sines. The early electoral decision decided by Rebelo de Sousa has unleashed a situation of political instability since the new conservative Government lacks sufficient parliamentary strength to carry out its initiatives alone. The elections of last March 10, in addition, caused the spectacular rise of Chega, the far-right party, which received more than a million votes and has become a force of great weight in the Assembly of the Republic with 50 deputies.Join EL PAS to follow all the news and read without limits.
