The judicial vacation period ends this Monday in Portugal. Starting tomorrow, Tuesday, Portuguese courts resume full operation, putting an end to the usual slowdown in judicial activity observed during the summer.
Among the figures returning to court, José Sócrates stands out, the former Portuguese Prime Minister who will face new judicial proceedings after the pause period.
Other well-known names from the Portuguese judicial landscape will also return to court, including former local officials and police officers, among other cases that were awaiting the resumption of judicial activity to proceed.
The full return of courts traditionally marks the restart of multiple cases that were suspended during the holidays, accelerating the processing of cases involving public figures and former political officials.
