Vitor Escaria recently took out a loan of €24,985.21 from Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD), reports To express.
António Costa’s former chief of staff has admitted that 75,000 euros found by authorities that he hid in books and wine boxes in his office were not declared, which constitutes the crime of tax fraud.
According to the CM, there will be no verification of Vitor Escaria’s income declarations. The tax authorities are awaiting the continuation of the criminal investigation, whether through Operation Influencer or through independent evidence.
Escaria was only required to declare his income and assets to the Constitutional Court in 2020, when he became chief of staff to the current prime minister. Prior to this, the former adviser to José Socrates, as well as Costa, was not obliged to do this.
The former business consultant and ISEG professor had two loans from CGD, and the last one, for almost 25 thousand euros, forced him to change his income declaration in the Constitutional Court on October 6, adds To express.
In addition to this debt, he had two more loans to the state bank for 67,570.82 euros and 20,773.57 euros.
Escaria will double his income from dependent work and halve his income from independent work after taking over as Costa’s chief of staff.
In 2021, he declared more than 110 thousand euros in income from dependent work, and income from independent work amounted to 27,800 euros.
