Operation Influencer. PGR says that 30 seized devices remain inaccessible
The Public Prosecutor's Office (PGR) reported that 30 seized devices in the Influencer Operation remain inaccessible due to appeals from defendants. As the investigation marks three years since the initial searches, the PGR emphasized that the inquiry has not stalled. The operation involves allegations of economic crimes related to a data center in Sines and lithium exploitation in Montalegre and Boticas. Despite forensic procedures completed for most devices, legal disputes over email access hinder progress. The PGR seeks legislative clarification to prevent delays in investigations. Other inquiries related to the operation are ongoing, albeit limited by the same access issues.
