Operation Marquês: José Sócrates returns to court without a lawyer

Expresso10 September 2026 at 10:57

José Sócrates returned to court as part of Operation Marquês, at a time when the case continues to move forward. The former prime minister appeared without a lawyer, marking a significant change in his defense.

The return to court occurred after a pause that was planned to last only two weeks but ended up extending for an entire year, thus prolonging the interruption in the trial.

This prolonged absence raises questions about the continuity of the process and the reasons behind the postponement. The Operation Marquês case involves charges of corruption, tax fraud, and money laundering related to the former official's business dealings.

PF operation regarding financing of the film 'Dark Horse' has 49 search and seizure warrants

The Federal Police launched an operation to investigate the financing of the film "Dark Horse," a production inspired by the life of former President Jair Bolsonaro, executing 49 search and seizure warrants in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Ceará, and the Federal District. The action, carried out together with the Comptroller General's Office, investigates suspected embezzlement of public funds from parliamentary amendments by an alleged criminal organization formed by public and private agents. The investigations indicate irregular direction of funds to subcontracted companies without proof of services rendered, with attempts to conceal the embezzlement until July of this year. Among the main targets are producer Karina Gama and federal deputy Mario Frias (PL-SP), with the investigation under the responsibility of Minister Flávio Dino.
