The recent audit of the process of receiving visas gold reveals profound disorganization scenario and lack of rules in the procedures of the Foreigners and Borders Service (SEF) in the assignment of the residence permits to investors.
The conclusions of the audit, which the PUBLIC had access, the General Inspectorate of Internal Administration (IGAI) stresses have verified the existence of “disagreement procedures as to the place of receipt of the application for residence permit for Investment Activity (ARI), “” disharmony acceptance
assessment of the evidence necessary means “,” lack of clear rules “in the procedure and” disorganization in the instruction mode of processes. “
The inspectors also showed surprise at the emission rate of division charged for each visa. More than five thousand euros are charged for each, “and 50% are in the SEF and 50% goes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs”, underlines the IGAI, adding that “we could not find any justification for the way it is determined to dividing the rate. “
In November last year, more than 200 PJ inspectors raided in ministries and arrested the then director of the Aliens and Border Service, Manuel Jarmela Palos, former -president of the Institute of Registration and Notary Antonio Figueiredo and then Secretary General of the Ministry of Justice, Maria Antonia Anes. At issue are suspected of crime in the allocation of visas, of large commissions. The scandal led to Miguel Macedo to resign from the post of Minister of Internal Affairs.
In this audit, IGAI yet found “the breach of the rules of jurisdiction laid down in the decision” of receiving visas, one “incipient and weak internal control, with even areas where it is ineffective.” Considering this fact and “considering the touchiness and the lack of explanation of very few of the facts” detected, the IGAI already decided to inform the Macedo’s successor, Anabela Rodrigues, dispensing hearing this stage the SEF in contested phase.
Anabela Rodrigues determined, following the recommendations of IGAI, the development of a Procedures Manual “clear and transparent and enforceable for the application of procedures,” the Ministry of Interior in a statement sent this Monday! fair. The new director of the SEF, the Beça Pereira judge, you must create and submit the manual to IAC within 30 days. The judge has yet to establish a “training plan for inspectors” SEF, evaluate the need to “undertake an audit of computer systems operating in SEF” that are handled authorization procedures and determine “forms of control internal procedures for granting “visa gold .
The minister also ordered the IGAI to conduct an audit of” monitoring “the” effective implementation of the Procedures Manual “, with” particular attention “to the procedures in the” Regional Directorate of Lisbon, Tagus Valley and Alentejo “SEF over the” high number of cases filed “in that direction.
Anabela Rodrigues did not forget also, as recommended IGAI of the sending of the inspection report to the Central Department of Investigation and Prosecution, to its junction to the survey-crime in which the PJ held mega-operation.
The minister, however, is not pronounced in a statement on two focal points of audit recommendations. The IGAI recommended that emissions be authorized documents certificates of this audit may be needed to initiate disciplinary proceedings the leaders of the SEF. Inspectors recommended yet profound legislative changes, including the law providing visas gold .
