The assets of a constructor from Sintra were seized by court order. This measure comes after several complaints from families who accuse the contractor's company of defrauding them out of thousands of euros. The seizure of assets is a legal measure that aims to protect the interests of the victims while the process unfolds.
The affected families report that they paid for the construction of houses that were never built. The project promised innovative housing made with polystyrene blocks coated in concrete, but construction never progressed. The amounts paid by clients exceeded thousands of euros each.
The company's managing partner strongly denies all accusations. The defense argues there was no fraudulent intent and that circumstances exist that explain the non-compliance with the projects. The matter is being examined by the court, which will need to determine whether there was actually fraud or merely breach of contract.
The case is the subject of an investigation by the Repórter Sábado program, broadcast at 9:40 PM on NOW channel. The report promises to reveal more details about the alleged scheme and hear from both the affected families and the constructor.
