On Monday, Ana Gomes accused Mario Ferreira of acting as a “front man” for money laundering. The statements were made at the Bolhan court in Porto, where an aggravated libel trial against the businessman began.
We are talking about considerations made on a social network with more than 500 kilograms of drugs when he was about to return to Portugal.
“What[ue] Cute! Thanks to @expresso we discover that[ue] multifaceted shipowner Mario Ferreira is now investing in euros in addition to investments in Media Capital/TVI [dinheiro] in another matter[ue] Profit is not going well: private aviation,” he wrote in one of the publications. “And it will fly to[ara] Is Brazil imitating OMNI?,” he added.
The judge, Ana Gómez, assured that “the only thing she wanted to do was the lack of control at national airfields, where all kinds of abuses are observed.” “I didn’t want to hint at a connection with drug trafficking, because I didn’t have and don’t have such evidence, but money laundering, yes. I am convinced that we are facing a foreign investment front for money laundering,” he said, believing that the businessman who owns TVI “is a fraudster who is investing in sectors that are not profitable.” Mário Ferreira reiterates that “the hints were very clear” regarding drug trafficking, and claims that Ana Gomes took the opportunity to insert her name into OMNI, “stating that she was going to imitate her and carry out this type of transport.” “Let’s hope she is convicted and cured, that’s what I expect from a woman who is old enough to have some sense,” the businessman said as he left court.
Regarding a possible agreement between the parties, Mario Ferreira’s lawyer does not leave aside this hypothesis. “Someone makes a false accusation, withdraws it, and the deal is done. But he takes it back, doesn’t apologize, says he didn’t have any intention, he was wrong, no. Delete and recant,” Ruy Patricio said.
