Foreign Minister João Gomes Cravinho is the majority shareholder of the real estate company founded by António da Silva Barão, which was involved in the deal that damaged Novo Banco’s settlement fund by 260 million euros.
Eurolocarno is headquartered on Rua da Palmeira in Lisbon, but according to TVI, on the facade there is only an indication of the existence of a creative agency. Gomes Cravinho is one of the seven partners of Eurolocarno and owns a share of one thousand euros.
In May 2015, control passed from António da Silva Barão to Marcos de Almeida Lagoa, also convicted of tax fraud, who is still João Gomes Cravinho’s partner with half the current foreign minister’s share. Marcos Lagoa was tried for several economic crimes that cost CTT 13.5 million euros.
Minister Joao Gomes Cravinho told the TV channel that he knew nothing about the partners’ legal problems.
In a statement sent cm This Sunday, the Foreign Minister denied the news presented by TVI, citing that António da Silva Barau “is not and never has been” his partner in the Eurolocarno company.
