Morais Pires targets Salgado and says that BES was not harmed

Amílcar Morais Pires, former CFO of Banco Espírito Santo, continues his testimony in the BES/GES trial, addressing accusations of 25 crimes. He discussed key events leading to the bank's collapse in 2014, including a secret meeting in Lake Como aimed at assessing financial risks. Morais Pires confirmed significant losses in financial vehicles linked to Eurofin but claimed ignorance of their origins. He emphasized that Ricardo Salgado, the former president of BES, was ultimately responsible for decisions impacting the bank's financial exposure. The trial will resume on November 3, with further scrutiny of past financial strategies and decisions.
