Fake lawyer in silence at the start of the trial in court

Notícias de Coimbra7 September 2026 at 14:35

The man accused of being a "fake lawyer" remained silent at the start of the trial, which began in court. The defendant is suspected of having practiced law for three decades without possessing the academic and professional qualifications necessary for this purpose. The defense made no statements at the start of the process, choosing not to provide any type of collaboration with the court during this initial phase.

The trial is taking place in the court where the case is being heard, and the judicial authorities are closely monitoring the progress of the proceedings. The charges against the defendant relate to the illegal practice of law over approximately 30 years, a period during which he allegedly acted as a qualified professional when, in reality, he did not meet the conditions required by law to practice the activity.
