Socrates denies owning Paris apartment: "I didn't even know it was going to be bought"

Expresso10 September 2026 at 17:11

Socrates, former prime minister of Portugal, categorically denied any involvement in the purchase, renovation and rental of an apartment in Paris. The former leader stated that he "didn't even know" the property was going to be purchased, ruling out any personal involvement in the process.

During his testimony, which lasted four hours without cross-examination, Socrates also revealed that he had rented another house in Paris which, according to him, "disappeared from the story". This revelation comes within the scope of an investigation involving the former prime minister.

After the lengthy testimony, Socrates requested a break due to "fatigue", thereby suspending his interrogation session. The article does not specify the exact charges or the full context of the investigation in question.

See what is #FACT or #FAKE in Anthony Garotinho's interview with O GLOBO, Extra, Valor and CBN

The candidate for governor of Rio by Republicanos, Anthony Garotinho, was interviewed on Thursday by O GLOBO, Extra, Valor and CBN. In the 1h30 interview, he minimized his rejection and the arrests he suffered, besides blaming Michelle for the non-disclosure of the "night of the Astronauts" video. Garotinho also proposed a "BOPE 2.0" and the creation of subway line 3 with "super ferries", but dodged questions about support for Lula or his son Flavio Bolsonaro, leaving his presidential vote open. The series of interviews began with Douglas Ruas (PL), continued with William Siri (PSOL), and will be concluded by Eduardo Paes (PSD) on Friday.
