BES. Morais Pires targets collusion, Salgado and Isabel Almeida

During the third day of the BES trial, Amílcar Morais Pires accused former banker Ricardo Salgado and other administrators of collusion. He expressed feelings of injustice for being the only administrator facing charges and denied responsibility for various financial decisions. Morais Pires highlighted a breakdown of trust with Salgado before the bank's collapse and criticized the lack of communication from fellow administrators. He described a deliberate intention to avoid consolidating financial vehicles that misled clients about their risks. His testimony revealed detailed memories of events, suggesting that other administrators were aware of the bank's dire situation but chose to ignore it.
