Socrates uses the filing of Parque Escolar to his advantage
Former Prime Minister José Sócrates has requested the court to clarify contradictions between the dismissal of the Parque Escolar case and the accusations in the Operação Marquês trial. He argues that the dismissal should influence the assessment of his criminal responsibility. Sócrates is currently on trial for alleged corruption related to public works benefiting the Lena group, among others. The investigation into Parque Escolar was recently archived, and he emphasizes that the court should not ignore this injustice. The trial involves 21 defendants accused of various economic crimes, with no concrete evidence presented regarding Parque Escolar.
