The interrogations of three detainees suspected of corruption in Madeira, scheduled for this Monday at 14:00, were postponed for the second time to this Tuesday at 10:30.
In addition to several defense requests, lawyers have requested access to the entire trial because the records are no longer a court secret.
According to CM The lawyers asked for access to additional evidence in the case – about 30 boxes of documents – which will not be delivered by judicial police inspectors until Tuesday morning.
Let us remind you that the three detainees have already spent five nights and six days in prison under the judicial police. Given the slow pace of investigations, enforcement action will not be taken until later this week.
The arrests of two businessmen and the mayor of Funchal, Pedro Calado, followed a mega-operation that also affected the president of the regional government (PSD/SDS-PP), Miguel Albuquerque, who was named as a defendant and announced at Friday’s fair. that he will leave his post.
Those detained are suspected of active and passive corruption, economic participation in business, malfeasance, receiving or offering undue advantages, abuse of power and influence peddling.
