Investigation opens into ‘breaking of seal’ in evidence from Operation Influencer
Portugal Resident
Operation Influencer, the corruption probe that caused the downfall of António Costa’s Socialist government, is seemingly nowhere near a conclusion. Attorney General José Guerra has even said there is no decision either way on the possible involvement of António Costa. Now, tabloid Correio da Manhã reports a story from Público saying that prosecutors are investigating “the violation of a seal on boxes that contain documents apprehended in searches of Operation Influencer”. At issue is material recovered from a lawyers’ office. One apparent ‘certainty’ is that nothing has been removed from the boxes. But CM also says “the documents apprehended over a year ago have not yet been analysed by magistrates”. Thus, anyone hoping for a quick resolution of this case looks likely to face disappointment.
