José Sócrates filed a criminal complaint against prosecutor Rosário Teixeira, who led the Operation Marquês investigation. The complaint was filed with the Public Prosecutor's Office and targets the magistrate who conducted the case against the former prime minister.
Rosário Teixeira was the prosecutor in charge of Operation Marquês, an investigation involving José Sócrates that resulted in several charges against the former head of government. The case became one of the largest corruption and tax fraud cases in Portugal.
The criminal complaint filed by Sócrates comes at a time when the case continues to have legal developments. The former prime minister has contested the charges brought against him over the years.
This complaint against the prosecutor is part of José Sócrates's defense strategy, which has been questioning the legality and impartiality of the process that affected him. The case will now follow the usual legal procedures for this type of complaint.
