prosecutors crossed wiretapping with cash withdrawals, after Socrates have combined delivery of money
It is the headline in the Express on Saturday, you can manage the authorities have recorded phone call in which the former Prime Minister combined cash delivery. Socrates went on to receive a retainer Lalanda and Castro after he sold the company equipment Silva Santos.
The wiretaps are one of the key parts of the operation Marquis. The authorities have heard a call that José Sócrates combined cash delivery with Carlos Santos Silva. Your childhood friend will, moreover, confirmed that very first interrogation. It’s that account editions of Saturday’s ‘Express’, with regard to tapping, and in the ‘Daily News’, in relation to the first statements of Santos Silva, in questioning.
The friend of Socrates will thus have admitted that gave monetary amounts to the former prime minister, but claiming that he did so in the form of loan.
But the research suggests that, in addition to deliver cash to Socrates, the businessman also paid the salary of the driver now stuck Leg 44. John is also in custody. Santos Silva will also have got a job to Sofia Fava, the former wife of José Sócrates.
According to the ‘Daily News’, the childhood friend of the statements by the former head of government will not have convinced the public prosecutor, who believes that the entrepreneur is not more than the trustee cash Socrates.
The direction of the research
The supply of money to the former ruler are one of the strongest arguments that prosecutors met to indict Carlos Santos Silva and the former leader of the PS. Researchers suspect that this whole process it comes to money laundering, ie, money laundering
.
And you have to prove the crime of corruption, the main of which José Sócrates is suspect. If it is not proved, also falls to the ground of money laundering. This is because money laundering occurs when someone tries to hide the source of money earned illegally, for appearing to be legal. Typically, the money is sent abroad or to tax havens, and then enters the country as clean money.
If the prosecutors fail to prove that José Sócrates favored someone will be difficult to sustain the argument that needed laundering money to warrant it. Hence, now, the work of researchers to focus on seeking decisions of the governments of former prime minister who may have benefited someone.
Remember that the former prime minister is remanded in custody, charged with crimes of qualified tax evasion, money laundering and corruption. His lawyer, João Araújo delivered on Wednesday in Criminal Court Center (TCIC) a request “to call for the release” of the former Prime Minister, claiming that the period of investigation time has been exceeded.
