After José Rodrigues dos Santos’ interview with Pedro Nuno Santos on Tuesday, Pedro Delisle, José Socrates’ lawyer, sent an email to António José Teixeira, RTP’s chief information officer, asking for the “right of reply and correction.” We are talking about the journalist’s references to the former prime minister, which are considered “untrue, erroneous and seriously insulting his reputation and good name.”
In the letter that CM had access, the former ruler disputes José Rodrigues dos Santos when he says José Socrates admitted to RTP “that the money was in suitcases with banknotes.” The letter says: “This is a double lie: there were never suitcases with money in the Marquis case, and José Socrates was never able to recognize what never happened. The story with the suitcases was made up…”
The former prime minister also expressed dissatisfaction with the part in which the journalist mentioned Carlos Santos Silva and “the Len group that received millions from the state ruled by José Sócrates.” And he reminds that “the prosecutor’s charges […] They were all considered bizarre, inappropriate and speculative in their decision not to speak out.” data”. CMJose Rodrigues dos Santos replied: “I limited myself to stating the facts.”
